[Bug 1771335] Re: haproxy fails at startup when using server name instead of IP

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

I tried a simple case of bringing up two lxd containers, one with
haproxy as the frontend, another one with just apache as the backend,
and this config file on the frontend:

(defaults from the package go here)
frontend mycontainer
	bind *:9090
	mode http
	default_backend myapache

backend myapache
	mode http
	balance roundrobin
	server apache-1 bionic-backend.lxd:80 check

I then rebooted this frontend and it picked up the bionic-backend.lxd ip
just fine via dns.

This sounds indeed like some sort of race condition during boot. It
happens only after you reboot a machine? After the boot, if you login
and issue a "systemctl restart haproxy", it then works?

Could you share some details about the networking setup of this machine? For example:
cat /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
cat /etc/netplan/*.yaml
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Also, does this machine have a wired network connection, or does it
depend on wifi and someone logging in on gnome to activate network-
manager and its wifi connection?
