Just for future reference, it was unclear in my mind why the logs showed apt-get update succeeding which seemed to require dns (archive.ubuntu.com). The reason that worked was that http_proxy was set for apt. When using an http proxy, the client system does not resolve the Host, but rather leaves that to happen on the proxy.
