[Freeipa-users] Problem adding DNS Zones

[Petr Spacek]

Hello,

you didn't specified IPA version, OS version etc., so my reply will be valid 
latest IPA master but not necessarily for Your version:

You are trying to use name server from another zone so you have to enter 
absolute DNS name.

Value "dns.project.net" is missing the trailing dot, so DNS name was read as 
relative. As a result zone origin (i.e. "0.pool.ntp.org") was appended to the 
name - and not found in (empty!) zone "0.pool.ntp.org".

You have to specify --ip-address if you want to create a new NS record with 
relative name. --ip-address and --name-server combination will create NS+A 
record pair.
