Pieter, 
If you are comfortable with duplicating your external records internally, you 
CAN use this domain, however I've always preferred to have internal only and 
external only domains (we actually register domains externally that are 
internal use only). so for example, lautus.net is your external domain, for 
internal you could use a subdomain like ipa.lautus.net or lautus.tech. 

Split DNS isn't wrong, but it never makes things easier. your SRV records would 
only need to be duplicated if your users are @lautus.net and not 
@ipa.lautus.net or @ad.lautus.net. 

I hope this helps, this is all general dns infrastructure, so you could also 
checkout any other resources on building domain/forest infrastructure 
recommendations 

Good Luck, 

Jacob

Thanks, that helps a lot. 



Yes and no. What you see with "@ NS ..." is a glue record -- you are 
supposed to have a glue record for IPA domain in the upstream domain, 
this is how domain delegation works in DNS world. 



Except what i saw was the other way around. The FreeIPA server has an NSrecord 
claiming that it is authoritative the parent domain, but its parent domain is 
hosted at dnsmadeeasy: 

~ dig @ [ http://8.8.8.8/ | 8.8.8.8 ] -t NS [ http://lautus.net/ | lautus.net ] 
[ http://lautus.net/ | lautus.net ] . 86399 IN NS [ 
http://ns15.dnsmadeeasy.com/ | ns15.dnsmadeeasy.com ] . 
~ dig @ [ http://8.8.8.8/ | 8.8.8.8 ] -t NS [ http://ipa.lautus.net/ | 
ipa.lautus.net ] 
[ http://ipa.lautus.net/ | ipa.lautus.net ] . 86399 IN NS [ 
http://ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net/ | ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net ] . 

But as far as the FreeIPA DNS is concerned, it is authoritative for everything: 

~ dig @ [ http://ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net/ | 
ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net ] -t NS [ http://lautus.net/ | lautus.net ] 
[ http://lautus.net/ | lautus.net ] . 86400 IN NS [ 
http://ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net/ | ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net ] . 
~ dig @ [ http://ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net/ | 
ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net ] -t NS [ http://ipa.lautus.net/ | 
ipa.lautus.net ] 
[ http://ipa.lautus.net/ | ipa.lautus.net ] . 86400 IN NS [ 
http://ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net/ | ipa-hetzner-cpt4-01.lautus.net ] .
