Andres and I have discussed this further, and he pointed out that the LXCs can take a *long* time to start. That would be sufficient time for us to parse the leases file and update the DNS with a PTR for the new node (option #3).
I've tested this out locally. The LXC container took ~30minutes to start from `juju deploy mysql --to lxc:0`, and it acquired an IP address ~5 minutes before the juju agent showed as started. It was another 5 minutes until the mysql unit showed as started. This is more than enough time for us to create DNS entries for the container, with a hostname either based on its IP address (e.g. maas- dynamic-1.maas) or based on the client-hostname field in the lease (e.g. juju-machine-0-lxc-0-dynamic.maas). The second is more meaningful, but it's also more code. Andres and I agreed that this was a better solution than #2 above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1382190 Title: LXCs assigned IPs by MAAS DHCP lack DNS PTR entries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1382190/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
