Thanks. That is more or less like what I am doing, beit that I use the JSON output of ipa dnsrecord-find, and a Python script to massage the output and get a list like this: 172.16.16.87 grift 172.16.16.88 qlcmdevl 172.16.16.91 sp2 172.16.16.95 kwistbeek 172.16.16.96 keersop 172.16.16.97 lutjewad Anyway, from the answers I gather that this is what it is. Which is not a huge problem. I was just curious if there were easier methods. -- Kees -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
