While looking into a different problem I noticed that
if an instance gets an UnknownHostException while attempting
to synchronize with the DAS it does not come up. If it
gets a ConnectionException (like when the DAS is down) it
does come up.
Is there a reason why the former case does not behave like the later?
Is it because we think UnknownHostException is more likely
to be a configuration error than a transient name service problem?
