Issue: svc.ns.svc.cluster.local resolves fine; svc.ns.traefik.mesh does not resolve

resolve.conf doesn't show any new pointers in the search

Silly issue: it worked for 30 seconds, no changes, I had four successful curl -Lv svc.ns.traefik.mesh and then it stopped resolving. Controller/proxy contained NO LOGS!

#2

Resolved.

eksctl delete addon --cluster my_cluster --region us-east-1 --name coredns --preserve

coredns configmap was being reverted by eks managed addon.
