<div>If I enroll a new client when the forward policy on a dns

<div>However if the policy of the zone is set to "only" or
"first", nsupdate fails during the client install. Install

seeing this in multiple zones, and all I need to change to fix
it is to change the forwarding policy. However it's
problematic as we start the rollout, since we will need to
rely on external dns until we have all servers enrolled.</div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
which version of freeIPA do you use?<br>
<br>
If version is older than 4.1, then specifying forward policy and
forwarders cause that zone work as forwardzone thus, you cannot add
host there, because all queries ale forwarded to specified
forwarders (8.8.8.8) which does not know zone dev.example.com<br>
<br>
If version is 4.1+ then nsupdate should work and it can be bug.
However I'm curious why do you need forwarding in master zone, what
is the use case?<br>
<br>
More details about forwardzones in IPA:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Forward_zones">http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Forward_zones</a><br>
<br>
IMO you need specify global forwarder to your external DNS server,
instead of adding per zone forwarders.<br>
