I am using liberty with neutron running on controller nodes in HA. Instance is properly getting private ip address and I am able to resolve http://google.com from instance but when I try to resolve instance's hostname, I am getting below error.

Instance details

This instance doesn't have cloud-init thats why it gets hostname from dnsmasq generated by neutron. Instance should be able to resolve itself and ping itself using it's own hostname. This was working fine on nova-network. How does neutron handle DNS resolution of instance hostname specifically in this case instance has got the hostname generated by neutron?
