Perhaps I should explain the design a bit and see if FreeIPA even supports this.Our replica is in a separate network and all the appropriate ports are opened between the master and the replica. The "replica" got created successfully and is in sync with the master (except the CA services which I mentioned earlier)
Now,when I try to run ipa-client-install on hosts in the new network using the replica, it complains that about "Cannot contact any KDC for realm".
I am wondering it my hosts in the new network are trying to access the "master" for certificates since the replica does not have any CA services running? I couldn't find any obvious proof of this even running the install in a debug mode. Do I need to open ports between the new hosts and the master for CA services?
 
At this point I cannot disable or  move the master, it needs to function in its location but I need
