[Freeipa-users] Host aliases in freeipa

Hi

I'm trying to migrate of my NIS databases to freeipa and have got to the 
hosts database.

In NIS a typical entry is:
ipaddress canonical_name [aliases...]

but I don't see how to enter the ipaddress or aliases using the ipa 
host-* commands. Is that possible?

Maybe this is supposed to be done with the ipa dns commands, but I don't 
want freeipa to control the dns as we have an existing external dns 
infrastructure to fit into.

How should I configure freeipa to do host lookups for aliases like NIS does?

Thanks

Roderick Johnstone
