I have run into a problem where I cannot delete PTR DNS records from the
command line. This is something that until recently I have never attempted.

IPA version = ipa-server-2.2.0-17.el6_3.1.x86_64

When I try to delete a PTR record I get this message.
ipa dnsrecord-del 41.100.10.in-addr-arpa. 250 --ptr-rec test1
ipa: ERROR: invalid 'hostname': invalid domain-name: not fully qualified

ipa dnsrecord-del 41.100.10.in-addr-arpa. 250 --ptr-rec test1.test.com
ipa: ERROR: 250: DNS resource record not found

ipa dnsrecord-del 41.100.10.in-addr-arpa. test1.test.com. --ptr-rec 250
ipa: ERROR: invalid 'hostname': invalid domain-name: not fully qualified

Its got to be a simple thing I am missing, can someone please show what I
am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Unqualified PTR records do not make sense, this is why we validate them on
addition. What does following command show?

$ ipa dnsrecord-show 41.100.10.in-addr-arpa. 250

Is the record really resolvable?

$ host 10.100.41.250

Please send us output from commands:

$ ipa dnszone-show 41.100.10.in-addr-arpa.
$ ipa dnsrecord-find 41.100.10.in-addr-arpa. 250

Thank you.

Hmm, amazing what works when you spell stuff right.

Epic Fail on my part. Face plant in the mud.

Apologies to all for such silliness that I have put you all thru.

Thanks!
