  I do, as a CA, DNS server and user database.

  I have two VMs running on my home server. They were configured as
replicas for few years. But at one point replication broke, I've
uninstalled FreeIPA from one of the replicas, but didn't manage
to re-establish replication. There are some errors requiring longer
troubleshooting for which I had no time.

  For DNS, I have a dnsmasq installed on my main server. This dnsmasq
is configured with pihole blocklist and 3 static entries: for my
main server and 2 FreeIPAs. Everything else is forwarded to FreeIPA
as resolvers.

  I'm using my normal domain for everything. For external view, my
zone is hosted at some free provider, with bare-bones entries for few
machines and IPA-related _entries.
  Internally, the domain is handled by FreeIPA, and zone contain many
more hosts than externally visible.  Functionally it works like
a split-horizon setup, but with totally independent servers.

  Oh, and my ip6.arpa zone is served directly from FreeIPA VMs.
I used to use FreeIPA's ACME facility to serve certs for my internal
services and stuff on k8s cluster, but this is currently broken
until https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2350322 gets fixed.
