designate cli shows the domain was created. BUT, the log show the connection was refused by server

[Alex Stafeyev]

We have designate with BIND9 backed configuration. Bind9 was not configured properly
and will refuse connection from designate. I created domain via designate CLI. The designate cli shows the domain was created. BUT, the log show the connection was refused by server.
Error during missconfiguration - Openstack says created, Log says failed

[root@controller ~(keystone_admin)]# designate domain-create --name bind9.com. --email <email address hidden>

This is a limitation of the v1 API, and thus the v1 client. It doesn't have access to the 'STATE' field, and has no way to know of backend failures.

The v2 CLI plugin to openstack-cli would show the state of the zone in ERROR.

Closing as we can't/won't fix.
