Workaround: Edit the file (change the "20" to "10") before starting Chapter 5.
Then restart the service on instructor (service named restart).

If student 10 has already built their VM when you notice this, have them just reboot their VM after making the DNS correction.

Description: Install a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Guest
First seen while performing the lab on SG p102.

The instructor DNS (named) has a typo which causes all student-10-created VMs to fail to obtain a hostname. The error is in the named reverse lookup for the 172.24 network, located at /var/named/chroot/var/named/data/172.24-rh318.zone, partially displayed here:

<snip>
$GENERATE 1-99 $.8 PTR vm$.pod8.example.com.
$GENERATE 1-99 $.9 PTR vm$.pod9.example.com.
$GENERATE 1-99 $.20 PTR vm$.pod10.example.com.
$GENERATE 1-99 $.11 PTR vm$.pod11.example.com.
$GENERATE 1-99 $.12 PTR vm$.pod12.example.com.

On the line for pod10, the "20" should be a "10".
