17.10. Resolving Hostnames in the IdM Domain
It is possible to check the DNS entries for IdM domain members using the
dns-resolve command. If the record exists and is properly formatted in the DNS configuration, then the command returns the DNS record. If not, the command returns an error, that the hostname is not recognized within the DNS service.
$ipa dns-resolve server1.example.com
This can be helpful with troubleshooting connection problems between servers, clients, and services.
