It has been recommended everywhere to create the IPA domain as a subdomain of
the main domain. So in my example I would have:
ipa.example1.local
ipa.example2.local
During the installation of FreeIPA I have to set the Netbios name. The problem
I see is that if I name a subdomain, e.g., ipa.example1.local and
ipa.example2.local, the Netbios name will be “IPA” for both. That's not
advantageous, is it?
When you create a domain, the first component of the DNS domain name is
used as the NetBIOS domain name by default, but you're free to choose
your own name to use, as long as it's unique and complies with the rules[0].
It looks like hyphens are allowed so IPA-EXAMPLE1 and IPA-EXAMPLE2 are
worth considering.
