Why can't I can access a service by using the service's URL?

You are supposed to be able to access a service by using the reserved IP or service's URL. If you can't access a service by using the URL, you might need to force the DHCP client to renew its lease.

Cannot use the service's URL to access the service.

The DNS service was not able to change the default DNS server for the virtual server instance that's trying to access the service.

To correct this issue, follow steps similar to the following Ubuntu commands:

  1. In the virtual server instance, check the last lease in /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases. The entry for DNS servers is to read option domain-name-servers 161.26.0.7,161.26.0.8, not 161.26.0.10,161.26.0.11.
  2. If this entry is not updated, run /sbin/dhclient to force the DHCP client update.
