Per:

https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/mitaka/implemented/internal-dns-resolution.html

https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/network/v2/index.html#dns-integration

I thought this was all possible since Mitaka such that you could 
configure neutron and designate to put a DNS domain on a network.

That's what Stephen was talking about in the original email, was should 
we use that, if available, rather than the dhcp_domain option in nova.

I think this came up a bit last week in Denver at the PTG, and there was 
some consensus around doing something like:

1. For a new instance, if the neutron network has a dns_domain set, use 
it. I'm not totally sure how we tell from the metadata API if it's a new 
instance or not, except when we're building the config drive, but that 
could be sorted out.
2. Otherwise use the dhcp_domain config option in nova.
