Forward and reverse lookups use the resolver library which is configured through /etc/nsswitch.conf As long as files is listed before dns then you should be good:
$ grep ^hosts: /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files dns myhostname Regards Angus ________________________________ From: Dominik Vogt via FreeIPA-users <[email protected]> Sent: 30 December 2020 16:36 To: FreeIPA users list <[email protected]> Cc: Dominik Vogt <[email protected]> Subject: [Freeipa-users] Re: Helpo with DNS setup?

Does that work? The RHEL8 IdM server installation instructions claim that forward and reverse lookup of the server have to work.
