typo; should say necessarily


When no \-\-server option is specified, this domain will be used by the installer to discover all available servers via DNS SRV record autodiscovery (see DNS Autodiscovery section for details).

Default value used by the installer is domain part of the hostname. This option needs to be specified if the primary IPA DNS domain is different than the default value.

"The default value...". There's more issues with the articles but this one I'd insist on.

IPA provides an integrated DNS server which can be used to ease IPA deployment. If you decide to use it, IPA will automatically maintain SRV and other service records when you change your topology.

DNS component in FreeIPA is optional and you may choose to manage all your DNS records manually in other third party DNS server. IPA DNS is not a general-purpose DNS server. If you need advanced features like DNS views, do not deploy IPA DNS.
