I rebuilt this configuration on a less-restrictive network (identical DNS/DHCP config, but w/o a firewall), and I was unable to reproduce the problem. I did observe errors from the DNS server in the problematic config - they were ipv6 issues. These issues did not correlate w/ failures to use PTR record names - so I don't believe they are related. I'm unable to root cause the issue at the moment as I've lost access to this network.
Since it seems clear that the issue is tied to a specific network infrastructure. I suggest closing this as Invalid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067834 Title: inconsistent use of reverse DNS for hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1067834/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
