Issue

DNSMasq occasionally has issues with 15-20 second delayed short-name resolution on Worker and Infra node(s).

$ nslookup sub
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

@dcona07l ~] $ nslookup sub.example.domain
Server:         10.x.x.x
Address:        10.x.x.x#53

Name:   sub.example.domain
Address: 10.x.x.y

Restarting the DNSMasq service is a workaround
