Issue

When adding a NS record to a host, if the host already has a NS record associated, the error message is misleading.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add a host with IPv4 or IPv6 and corresponding PTR record.
  2. Add a NS record to the host.
    ipa dnsrecord-add testzone.test. host --ns-hostname host
  3. Add the same NS record to the host.
    ipa dnsrecord-add testzone.test. host --ns-hostname host

Actual behavior

The following message is displayed:

ipa: ERROR: Nameserver 'host.testzone.test.' does not have a corresponding A/AAAA record

Expected behavior

As the host does have a corresponding A/AAAA record, a message better describing the error should be displayed.
