[Bug 1765477] [NEW] 5s delay in AAAA dns resolving; artful and earlier is quick

[Andreas Hasenack]

Public bug reported:

Basic steps:
lxc launch ubuntu-daily:bionic bionic-daily
lxc exec bionic-daily bash
sleep 10s (because of #1765173)
time host -d bionic-daily.lxd # or whatever domain your containers use by default

In bionic, there is a 5s delay when requesting the AAAA record:

In artful and xenial, there is no such delay and the (correct) empty reply is almost instantaneous.

In both cases, /etc/resolv.conf points at 127.0.0.53
