Hi,  
running Rancher 1.2.0 and vxlan.

deploying an ubuntu image and link to another stack/service ping “As Name” is ok.

deploying busybox/alpine and link to another stack/service ping “As Name” is not OK.  
alpine/busybox needs .rancher.internal domain.

Is there a cure for this issue?

EDIT: issue seems to be with alpine 3.4. alpine 3.3 seems to be OK.

EDIT2: found:

So thats a workaround.

In our environment we’ve had to switch from using Alpine 3.4 as base because of similar DNS issues under Rancher (1.x). It wasn’t 100% of the time but just enough to cause headaches.

Hi,  
seems to be fixed in the 1.2.1 release, BTW.

Cool, I’ll have to try it once I can actually get 1.2 working in my airgapped environment.
