Doesn't apply without the previous one. I'll apply the whole stack on the theory
it's in pending so I don't have a strong attachment to what's there, and you've
just put a lot more effort into understanding it than I have so far.

But I don't think telnet should depend on having access to a DNS server
describing any of the machines involved...
