The instances in openstack are running and I can ssh using the public
address (cactus release). Today I noticed, the vms cannnot connect to
the outside world properly. I don't recall this happening before. The
issue seems to be with name resolution. I can ping fine using the ip
addresses.


$ ssh -i natty2.pem root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When I add nameserver 8.8.4.4 in resolv.conf, I can ping them. Any idea?
