[Bug 1067834] [NEW] inconsistent use of CNAME for hostname

[dann frazier]

Public bug reported:

I am using MAAS in a network w/ a preexisting DNS/DHCP infrastructure. I
would like for my MAAS nodes to use the CNAME for the IP they are
assigned as their hostname. This seems to work - but only for the first
enlisted node. All following nodes get configured with the
node-<mac>.local names. I've rebuilt my MAAS server from scratch a few
times, varying which node I enlist first, and have ruled out DNS issues.
The same node will get a CNAME-based-hostname if enlisted first, and a
mac-based name if enlisted after the first. I can also reproduce by
removing all nodes from an existing MAAS. If I then re-add one of the
nodes that previously had a MAC-based name it enlists w/ a CNAME-based
name.

I'm using MAAS 0.1+bzr1264+dfsg-0ubuntu2 on quantal. maas-dhcp/mass-dns
are not installed.
