	It was working by pure luck -- the IPs happened to not resolve. There are
no such guarantees. The configuration was always broken. It was always
trying to do something it shouldn't do -- namely resolve private IPs on the

	The fix is to make all nameservers used by machines in private IP space
able to resolve those private IPs correctly.
