#4465 Add help string on how to configure multiple DNS forwards on cli
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by rcritten.

The ipa-server-install man page is more descriptive on how to configure multiple DNS forwarders than the cli help. The cli help is:

--forwarder=FORWARDERS
        Add a DNS forwarder

The man page includes a bit about using the option multiple times:

--forwarder=IP_ADDRESS
        Add  a  DNS forwarder to the DNS configuration. You can use this
        option multiple times to specify more forwarders, but  at  least
        one must be provided, unless the --no-forwarders option is spec‐
        ified.

Would be more user-friendly to include tips on usage where multiple options are acceptable
