title: ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host '[35.232.51.216]' (0) in google cloud SQL client
body: <p>I am trying to connect my gcloud VM to a mySQL instance also on the cloud, and keep getting this errror: </p>
  
  <p>ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host '[10.0.0.1]' (0)</p>
  
  <p>I have followed the instructions from google's documentation here <a href="https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/connect-admin-ip#connect-ssl" rel="noreferrer">https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/connect-admin-ip#connect-ssl</a> and have not found any reasons as to why this could be happening after a lot of searching.  I have double checked that the static IP of the VM is authorized, and that I have the right IP for the SQL database.  I have tried two ways to connect, using these IP addresses and SSL.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    mysql --host=[10.0.0.1] --user=root --password=
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>    mysql --ssl-ca=server-ca.pem --ssl-cert=client-cert.pem --ssl- 
      key=client-key.pem  --host=[10.0.0.1] --user=root --password=ms
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Both return the same error and I am at a loss as to where to look.  Has anyone seen this before, or is more experienced in SQL?  This is my first time using a SQL database on google cloud...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
