This can be resolved by setting dhcp_domain to an empty string in nova.conf on the Control node. For instance 'dhcp_domain='. An instances name can now be set to a FQDN which will then be passed cloud-init via the metadata server.

Similarly to the above, this can be resolve by setting 'dhcp_domain=' in the Neutron DHCP config file dhcp_agent.ini. Once this is set and the DHCP service restarted, the "--domain=<DOMAIN>" parameter no longer gets set
