Hello Signbjorn,

Unfortunately, host-add only accepts one IP address to be specified for the
given host. But allowing more addresses is a reasonable request, I filed an
upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3101

Until the ticket is addresses, you can manually add host IP addresses via
dnsrecord-add command:

# ipa host-add foo.example.com --ip-address 10.16.78.101
----------------------------
Added host "foo.example.com"
----------------------------
  Host name: foo.example.com
  Principal name: host/foo.example.com at IDM.LAB.BOS.REDHAT.COM
  Password: False
  Keytab: False
  Managed by: foo.example.com
# ipa dnsrecord-add example.com foo --a-rec=10.16.78.111 --a-create-reverse
  Record name: foo
  A record: 10.16.78.101, 10.16.78.111
# ipa dnsrecord-add example.com foo
--aaaa-rec=2620:52:0:104c:21a:4aff:fe10:4e06 --aaaa-create-reverse
  Record name: foo
  A record: 10.16.78.101, 10.16.78.111
  AAAA record: 2620:52:0:104c:21a:4aff:fe10:4e06
# host foo.example.com
foo.example.com has address 10.16.78.111
foo.example.com has address 10.16.78.101
foo.example.com has IPv6 address 2620:52:0:104c:21a:4aff:fe10:4e06

HTH,
