Thanks to Tomas! His answer got me onto a useful track, shared here.
In my case Gethostbyname was returning a bad ip, but I could
use Socket.getaddrinfo, like this:
<% ipStr = Socket.getaddrinfo('INST-STAGE-HAPROXY-A',nil)[0][3] %><%= ipStr
%>
or with the environment parameterised;
<% ipStr =
Socket.getaddrinfo('INST-'+scope.lookupvar('::config::uc_env')+'-HAPROXY-A',nil)[0][3]
%><%= ipStr %>
Other useful pointers;
You can test the ruby functions
(yum install irb)
$ irb
2.1.2 :001 > require 'socket'
=> true
2.1.2 :002 > Socket.getaddrinfo('localhost',nil)
=> [["AF_INET6", 0, "::1", "::1", 30, 2, 17], ["AF_INET6", 0, "::1",
"::1", 30, 1, 6], ["AF_INET6", 0, "fe80::1%lo0", "fe80::1%lo0", 30, 2, 17],
["AF_INET6", 0, "fe80::1%lo0", "fe80::1%lo0", 30, 1, 6], ["AF_INET", 0,
"127.0.0.1", "127.0.0.1", 2, 2, 17], ["AF_INET", 0, "127.0.0.1",
"127.0.0.1", 2, 1, 6]]
2.1.2 :004 > exit
(yum remove irb)
