V3

Notes

• [x] V3 fixes an issue where the Default Gateway was not getting set
• [x] V3 initiates a dns registration after all is done
• [x] Restart manually
• [x] (DISCLAIMER) time taken to perform the DNS updates may vary on slower or more mature environments. As we all know, you can build a set of servers in many many different ways, many of them not aligning with best practices due to delivery constraints.
