Comment 30 for bug 1412621

If you switch the MAAS setup to have a static IP range declared then the deployed node always has an entry in /etc/bind/maas/zone.maas and is resolvable. In my setup, my MAAS did NOT have a static IP range and I ran into this problem frequently. Having declared a static IP range, I have not run into this problem. The static IP range can be setup in the Cluster controller's interfaces section (see attached screenshot). Once you have setup a static range you will see permanent node entries in /etc/bind/maas/zone.maas.
