[Freeipa-users] dns stops working after upgrade

Wed Nov 5 15:17:06 UTC 2014

Hello,

I use only a single freeipa server (so no replica to bother)

Internal zones worked before the update
After the update, internal zones no longer worked.
After reverting back the snapshot the internal zones worked again, no
additional actions were needed.
