We perform monthly patching of our IPA servers on consecutive weeks.  We have a realm member server that loses it’s ‘A’ record in DNS after every monthly patching cycle on the first of our 2 IPA servers. And this member server is the ONLY machine to have such a problem.

Using the DNS Admin GUI I can make the ‘A’ record on one of the IPA servers and it shows up immediately in the DNS Admin GUI of the other.  There is no reverse record for that member server in the DNS Admin GUI and it will not allow me to add a reverse zone record for the server.  I receive a message that the reverse record for this server already exists.

It there a way to clean this up?  Is this glitch regarding the reverse zone record the reason the ‘A’ record falls away?
