New-ish ipa-4.9.6 setup on rocky linux 8.5. Initially we just setup the basic IPA services without DNS.  I've started setting up ipa-dns now and not quite sure what the best way to proceed.

Hypothetical settings:

All hosts are set up as:
    hostname.domain.com
All hosts have an alias:
    hostname.realm.domain.com

I do not administer the authoritative DNS but I can add and delete records for the areas I manage.  We currently run a few dnsmasq servers on our subnets with manually managed /etc/hosts on each.  I want to utilize the ipa-dns to take over for our dnsmasq servers.

I've done the ipa-dns-install, pointed forwarders to our authoritative DNS servers.  What I can't quite wrap my head around is the best way to proceed from that point?  Should I add the zone for the realm version hostnames and a separate zone for the domain level hostnames?

Or add one zone and then add a CNAME for the other hostname? Should the zone I setup be the hostname.realm.domain version or the hostname.domain version.  Or does it really matter much?

I do have quite a few hostnames that do not have a realm hostname setup.  They are mostly service ports and won't ever be bound to IPA.  After starting to add some of those I seem to be unable to resolve them to an IP.
