I would like to get additional information about your environment:
- Is the IPA server is installed with DNS or not? Did you use option --setup-dns during ipa-server-install?

- Which DNS zones do you have defined on IPA server? You can use command "ipa dnszone-find" to list all zones.

[root at linux named]# ipa dnsconfig-mod --forwarder=16.112.240.27;16.112.240.40
ipa: ERROR: no modifications to be performed
bash: 16.112.240.40: command not found...
[root at linux named]# ipa dnszone-find
  Zone name: 240.112.16.in-addr.arpa.
  Authoritative nameserver: linux.osn.cxo.cpqcorp.net.

- Is there any other DNS servers serving same DNS zones?

>>  Yes....we left the other two existing DNS servers in place as they are our primary name servers for this lab segment.
>>  Those are the two systems we have entered as forwarders.

- Did you configure forwarders in /etc/named.conf or via ipa command line tools (ipa dnsconfig-mod or --forwarder option during ipa-server-install)?

>>  The forwarders were placed in the /etc/named.conf file by the ipa-server-install script or one of its subordinate scripts

>>   a second entry on the line resulted in an error.    If entered with a second --forwarders command, the previous forwarder

- Please attach result of DNS lookups using "dig" command: One output when it doesn't work (i.e. with IPA running) and the other when it works as you expect (i.e. after "ipactl stop" and "service named restart").
