You need to have a forwarder and a forward policy that is
not "none", otherwise, IPA will only answer for its own zones.

You can check the forward configuration with:

# ipa dnsconfig-show  (global configuration)
# ipa dnsserver-find  (dns per-server configuration)
# ipa dnsforwardzone-find  (per-zone configuration)

If, for example, you use:

# ipa dnsconfig-mod --forwarder 8.8.8.8 --forward-policy only

You will set a global forwarder to Google's public nameserver.

hth,

Rafael
