When adding a host, we have to provide a Fully Qualified Domain name. The zone for this must match an existing DNS Zone Record, either managed by the DNS server in the IPA system or resolvable from the IPA server. The add host dialog should provide a list of the (non-reverse) zones defined in the IPA server, while also providing the user with the ability to enter a non managed FQDN as well.
We need to make sure that this logic is only triggered if DNS is installed.
Not necessarily. On a system not managing DNS, there is likely to be a subset of domains usable for adding hosts. We can either managing the list deliberately, or populate a select based on the domains used by previous hosts.
For example, if I add a host with test1.lab.example.org, the next time I add a host, the select would have lab.example.org as a value.
We would always allow the user to add in values by hand as well. But the goal is to cut down on errors due to copy/paste mistakes, as well as to streamline the UI
