2.6. DNS configuration priorities


You can configure many DNS configuration options on the following levels. Each level has a different priority.

Zone-specific configuration
The level of configuration specific for a particular zone defined in IdM has the highest priority. You can manage zone-specific configuration by using the ipa dnszone-* and ipa dnsforwardzone-* commands.
Per-server configuration
You are asked to define per-server forwarders during the installation of an IdM server. You can manage per-server forwarders by using the ipa dnsserver-* commands. If you do not want to set a per-server forwarder when installing a replica, you can use the --no-forwarder option.
Global DNS configuration
If no zone-specific configuration is defined, IdM uses global DNS configuration stored in LDAP. You can manage global DNS configuration using the ipa dnsconfig-* commands. Settings defined in global DNS configuration are applied to all IdM DNS servers.
Configuration in /etc/named.conf

Configuration defined in the /etc/named.conf file on each IdM DNS server has the lowest priority. It is specific for each server and must be edited manually.

The /etc/named.conf file is usually only used to specify DNS forwarding to a local DNS cache. Other options are managed using the commands for zone-specific and global DNS configuration mentioned above.

You can configure DNS options on multiple levels at the same time. In such cases, configuration with the highest priority takes precedence over configuration defined at lower levels.
