1260	Regex Location fails resolver DNS lookup	hulu1522@…		"We are developing with Kubernetes and came across an interesting issue where the `resolver` directive would not be applied properly when a DNS service name was inside a regex location.  If we converted the DNS service to an IP then it would work.  If we changed the regex location to a static location the resolver would work and find the DNS service IP correctly.

The following examples are what we had in the config for the location:

**Did not work -**
{{{
resolver 10.0.0.10 valid=10s ipv6=off;
resolver_timeout 10s;

location ~* ^/esauth/($1) {
  internal;
  proxy_pass http://bb-application/api/v1/proxy/$1
}
}}}

**Worked -**
{{{
resolver 10.0.0.10 valid=10s ipv6=off;
resolver_timeout 10s;

location /esauth {
  internal;
  proxy_pass http://bb-application/api/v1/proxy
}
}}}


**Log** from failed attempt:
