Current approach expects that every error of ipa dnsforward-add here
will mean that the zone exists. So it might hide other issues - not very
good.

On the other hand it is not very robust to parse error message.

Question for general audience: What do you think if IPA client's exit
status would be the IPA error code instead of "1" for every error. E.g.
in DuplicateEntry case it's 4002.

Btw, this is not a NACK.
