We definitely have an issue with localhost. When forcing the resolver to return 127.0.0.1, we pass 1-16 then 17 fails as I expected to happen based on my DNS futzing. Heads up that this test is not-surprisingly sensitive to DNS problems. My environment is still in a messy state where I can reproduce the original problem so it might be a useful moment for me to find a way to modify the test to harden it. Any suggestion on that score (as in where and roughly how you'd like it hardened)?
