NXDomain DNS errors with latest minikube and headless K8s service

Hi all,

After upgrading to Minikube v0.29.0 I am seeing a new DNS issue with an existing cluster: in summary, with a single external service named “mysql”, and a single pod trying to consume the service, I am getting DNS resolution errors from CoreDNS (see details below).
I have seen the issue mentioned here: plugin/kubernetes: Intermittent NXDOMAIN for headless service · Issue #1365 · coredns/coredns · GitHub
… but that doesn’t offer any good workaround.

Is it possible to configure minikube to revert to using kube-dns for now to work around this? Any other suggestion?

Any help appreciated… thanks!
Franck

** Edit: as far as reverting to kube-dns goes, I should have googled first:

minikube addons disable coredns
minikube enable kube-dns
… does the trick.

Here are the details about the system:

Host OS: OS X Darwin
VirtualBox 5.2.18
minikube version: v0.29.0
