Description
We are moving from DHCP to static vars.yaml but we want to use our site's DNS and not the DNS on the helper
# cat ocp4-helpernode/vars.yaml
---
ansible_default_ipv4:
alias: "enp1s0"
broadcast: "10.192.131.255"
gateway: "10.192.128.1"
interface: "enp1s0"
macaddress: "52:54:00:95:09:92"
mtu: 1500
netmask: "255.255.240.0"
network: "10.192.131.0"
prefix: "24"
type: "ether"
disk: vda
ssh_gen_key: false
staticips: true
helper:
name: "helper"
ipaddr: "10.192.131.60"
dns:
domain: "foo.bar.com"
clusterid: "hjkzitv"
forwarder1: "10.193.0.250"
forwarder2: "10.192.0.250"
bootstrap:
name: "bootstrap"
ipaddr: "10.192.131.77"
masters:
- name: "master0"
ipaddr: "10.192.131.78"
- name: "master1"
ipaddr: "10.192.131.79"
- name: "master2"
ipaddr: "10.192.131.80"
workers:
- name: "worker0"
ipaddr: "10.192.131.81"
- name: "worker1"
ipaddr: "10.192.131.82"
When I resolve the nodes I get this
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search hjkzitv.foo.bar.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
# host master0
master0.hjkzitv.foo.bar.com has address 10.192.131.78
My nodes are already in our site's DNS as -vm1.foo.bar.com how do I get ocp4-helpernode to create the node names like that instead of master0..foo.bar.com?
is always random since we build the clusters every time we run in the CI

Research direction
Start with ocp4-helpernode/vars.yaml and compare the configured dns values with the generated /etc/resolv.conf and node names shown in the issue. Trace where the clusterid-based hostnames are produced and determine whether the configuration can use the site's existing hostname pattern. Done means the generated node names follow that pattern instead of ...
