Symptoms

OHS + mod_wl_ohs , does not re-establish connection against WLS servers after a networking outage.

After a full network outage (lack of connectivity against all services, including dns down), the HTTPD process does not handle properly the re-connection against the WLS servers.

The mod_wl_ohs plugin logs, the following errors can be seen

2018-05-30T14:15:06.0987+02:00 parseServerList: could not resolve hostname '<HOSTNAME>', treating it as invalid, error [670003] Temporary failure in name resolution

And after that point .. even if WLS applications were accessible directly .. the OHS instances did not recover and reported errors

2018-05-30T14:15:30.5485+02:00 request [/<URI1>/app_status.html] did NOT process successfully.................. 

2018-05-30T14:15:31.4503+02:00 request [/<URI2>/app_status.html] did NOT process successfully.................. 

This lasted until OHS got restarted.
