Thanks, I have seen that too, look like a know issue.

Here is the result I got :


@juju-16cbed-0:~# python3 -c "import socket; print (socket.gethostbyname ('api.jujucharms.com'))"
162.213.33.122
@juju-16cbed-0:~# go run test-dns.go 
[] lookup api.jujucharms.com on 10.101.90.82:53: no such host

That is exactly the problem . 
If I use bind dns server, it works like a charm .. 

Not sure who to address the issue but I think, CONSUL should be JUJU compliant or vise versa
