Can I have multiple reverse DNS records for my RHEL 6.4 IPA clients?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Is there any problem when I have more than one reverse DNS records on IPA clients?

Example:

dig $(hostname) +search +short
172.16.233.67

dig -x 172.16.233.67 +short
server1.domain1.
server1.domain2.

Same dig again to illustrate the round robin working fine:

dig -x 172.16.233.67 +short
server1.domain2.
server1.domain1.

My DNS is hosted on Windows Server and I can not use multiview like Bind can.

I'm not seeing errors at this moment but sometimes I experience long time waiting password prompt to login. Might this delay be related with multiple reverse DNS records?

Environment
