I just installed an freeipa server (with an master replica) for our infrastructure. For the freeipa domain I used an subdomain (of our real domain) e.g. "internal.foobar.com", and made two A records for the nameservers ns1.internal.foobar.com,ns2.internal.foobar.com for my subdomain, and those nameservers are my freeipa servers.

But the problem is that those A records (for the nameservers) don't resolve to an IP adress, when I try host ns1.internal.foobar.com I get "Host ns1.internal.foobar.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)". But if I try to resolve a specific client on my freeipa domain, like test.internal.foobar.com it resolves it fine (most of the time - sometimes it timesout). I was just wondering, is this problem something that I configured badly or is it something on the dns register side?

Tnx, Tom

From the description, it looks like you are missing glue records in foobar.com for NS servers for internal.foobar.com. See What is a glue record? for details.
