Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 18.04, ipa-dns-intall (or ipa-server-install when asking to
configure BIND) does not create reverse DNS zones for my domain. Note
that I already fixed (or more correctly, circumvented) other bugs
involving BIND, such as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeipa/+bug/1769440.
The problem seems due to the presence of systemd-resolved. When ipa-dns-
install valuates whether to create a reverse DNS zone, it tries to use
the local DNS for resolving the IP address of the server. When you want
to install BIND alongside IPA, this normally fails, and the installer
knows he needs to configure an appropriate reverse zone. But when
systemd-resolved is active, it takes the role of local DNS and answers
this query: therefore, the installer thinks a reverse DNS zone is
already present.
To fix this problem I had to perform the following steps before calling
ipa-dns-install (or ipa-server-install):
1) stop systemd-resolved with "systemctl stop systemd-resolved".
2) disable systemd-resolved with "systemctl disable systemd-resolved".
3) delete the file "/etc/resolv.conf", which is a symlink to a file created by
systemd.
4) optionally, recreate "/etc/resolv.conf" pointing to the (real) local DNS.
