[Freeipa-users] Question About Properly Configuring DNS

[Trevor T Kates (Services - 6)]

Hi, all:

I have four servers (two in one location, two in another) running IPA 3.0 set to replicate like so:

Location A Server 1 - - - - - - - - Location B Server 1
              |                                            |
              |                                            |
              |                                            |
              |                                            |
Location A Server 2 - - - - - - - - Location B Server 2

Each server has DNS configured; however, I think I have configured something inappropriately
with respect to authoritative records.

I have eight zones configured and ipa dnszone-show for any one of them has Location B Server 1's
name as authoritative. In each of the eight zones, I have added NS records for the other three
servers. On all of the servers except Location B Server 1, /var/log/messages will show:

client x.xxx.x.xxx#14366: received notify for zone 'x.xxx.x.in-addr.arpa': not authoritative

This occurs for most, but not all, zones. Along with this:

LDAP query timed out. Try to adjust "timeout" parameter
update_record (psearch) failed, dn 'idnsname=xxx,idnsname=x.xxx.xx.in-addr.arpa.,cn=dns,dc=example,dc=com' change type 0x0. Records can be outdated, run `rndc reload`: not found

I feel like I've misconfigured a few things along the way and I'd love some help. Along with that
if anyone has recommendations on things I should read to help me better understand what I
should be doing with DNS, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Trevor T. Kates
