{host-node} hostname doesn't resolve at Emulab

[ff...@nyu.edu]

Hi CloudLab team,

I’m using {host-node} in a profile’s Instructions to generate service URLs, following this discussion:

https://groups.google.com/g/cloudlab-users/c/Y57wAFDREyE/m/bDUFNwNZEQAJ

The profile requests a public address for its Xen VM with node.routable_control_ip = True

The services in the experiment work when accessed through the VM’s static hostname (pcvm855-1.emulab.net). 

However, {host-node} expands to node.jup-op-rip-832.nyunetworks.emulab.net which returns NXDOMAIN.

Is {host-node} expected to resolve for a routable Xen VM on Emulab?

Current experiment: https://www.cloudlab.us/status.php?uuid=441e0424-11f3-435c-96ee-63fca74f5a9c (but it might be expired by the time someone looks at it).

Thank you.
