I have a simple MYSQL pod sitting behind a MYSQL service. 

Additionally I have another pod that is running a python process that is trying to connect to the MYSQL pod. 

If I try connecting to the IP address of the MYSQL pod manually from the python pod, everything is A-OK. However if I try connecting to the MYSQL *service* then I get an error that I can't connect to MYSQL. 

```
grant@grant-Latitude-E7450:~/k8s/objects$ kubectl describe pod mysqlpod

grant@grant-Latitude-E7450:~/k8s/objects$ kubectl describe pod basic-python-model
Name:       basic-python-model
Namespace:  default

```

If I attach to my python container and do an nslookup of the mysqlservice, then I'm actually getting the **wrong** IP. As you saw above the IP of the mysqlpod is 172.17.0.4 while nslookup mysqlservice is resolving to 172.17.0.5. 

```
grant@grant-Latitude-E7450:~/k8s/objects$ k8s exec -it basic-python-model bash
[root@basic-python-model /]# nslookup mysqlservice                    
Server:     10.0.0.10
Address:    10.0.0.10#53

Name:   mysqlservice.default.svc.cluster.local
Address: 172.17.0.5

```

I'm fairly new to kubernetes, but I've been banging my head on this issue for a few hours and I can't seem to understand what I'm doing wrong.
