It's not the most eloquent interface I've 
ever seen... ;-) 

What are the failures this is fixing? When a
hostname lookup is done what happens? Failure
hangs stopping the server from coming up?

If we do have to stay with this approach, 
I definitely think comment explaining
why its needed and what it does.

Finally, on an unrelated issue I'm seeing 
SELinux preventing nfs-server-generator from 
accessing nfs-server.service.d/order-with-mounts.conf
because of a labeling issue. I guess the label
should be nfsd_unit_file_t not systemd_unit_file_t

steved.
