Hi,
I'm using 1.3 and trying to overlay DNS names on hosts that already have an
existing DNS entries in another server beyond my control.
In particular, my setup looks like this
[client] <------------> [foreman server + (includes DNS) ]
<----------------> [External DNS server]
assume "client" has the hostname abcd.mydomain.com in External DNS Server
I'd like to give it a "localised " name of "m-abcd.mydomain.com".
Problem is, when I try and create the host in foreman it gives me an error
telling me an existing hostname already exists for m-abcd, which is to be
expected given the external DNS server has an entry. I am forced to click
on the overwrite button but even then I do not get a new entry in the
foreman dns server.
Any ideas if what I want is possible?
Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure if i understood your situation, but you could configure
which dns servers foreman uses, by default we query the SOA/NS servers
directly (to avoid any dns syncs issues) but you could turn of that
behaviour and use the locally configured resolver (e.g. /etc/resolv)
instead.

How would I get it to use a locally configured resolver?
