[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA 4.1.4 DNS notifications not being sent to slaves

[Baird, Josh]

Is the PowerDNS slave in the NS RRSet for the IPA domain?  Unfortuantely, bind-dyndb-ldap does not support 'also-notify' which would allow us to send notifies each time a zone update occurs to slave servers that are not in the RRSet [1].  To compensate for this in my environment, I had to lower the 'refresh' timer on the IPA zone.

Subject: [Freeipa-users] FreeIPA 4.1.4 DNS notifications not being sent to slaves

I have 2 FreeIPA 4.1.4 servers setup on CentOS 7 as replicas.

I also have another host running PowerDNS serving as a slave.
The FreeIPA servers are setup to allow transfers to the slave by IP.  When adding the zone, the slave transfered it properly.

However, when I update the zone in FreeIPA, although the serial number changes, in the /var/log/messages I only see an attempt to transfer to the second IPA server, and not the slave.  This is the only log entry :

May  2 01:06:56 dc1 named-pkcs11[5897]: zone mydomain.net/IN: sending notifies (serial 1430528817) May  2 01:06:57 dc1 named-pkcs11[5897]: client 10.178.0.99#29832: received notify for zone 'mydomain.net'

I have restarted all services using ipactl restart several times.  I have also ensured that the slave hostname and IP are in FreeIPA DNS.  I have also added an NS entry pointing to the slave.

According to the FreeIPA manual, once that NS entry is added, any zone updates should trigger a notify, but still the only notifications go out to FreeIPA servers and nothing else.

Any idea how to fix this so FreeIPA notifies non IPA servers?  I'm pretty sure I've followed all the instructions to the letter on this one...
