Is anyone here running FreeIPA on EL8 (a.k.a. RedHat IdM) with DDNS
updates enabled from dhcpd, and running that server as their network's
recursive resolver?  Successfully?

On EL7, this just didn't work for me due to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409321 and it seems even
worse on EL8.

The TL;DR: is that if you have DDNS updates coming named-pkcs11 from
ISC dhcpd, many (i.e. recursive resolver) queries to named-pkcs11 will
frequently, temporarily and intermittently return SERVFAIL.

If you stop the DDNS updates from ISC DHCP the recursive resolving
behaviour of the server stabilizes and it stops returning SERVFAILs.

So, this is just a query to see if anyone is actually running this
configuration successfully.  If you think you might be successful with
this configuration, how many recursive resolvers do you have in your
network?  If you have more than just the (single) FreeIPA server, it
might be that named-pkcs11 on that machine is frequently returning
SERVFAIL and that you are just not noticing because your alternate
recursive resolvers are masking it.

So if you are running in such a configuration with alternate recursive
resolvers, it might be interesting to use tcpdump or some such on your
FreeIPA server to see if your named-pkcs11 is indeed returning SERVFAIL
for many of your queries.

Cheers,
b.
