Adding sleep-before-ready config, and better failback for hostname. #6

Closed adamleff closed 8 years ago

In some environments, a race condition can exist between when a vRA instance is provisioned to when it is actually ready. Such a race condition may be DNS propagation. In the event of a NXDOMAIN when TK looks up a hostname, it will cause TK to throw an exception rather than waiting and trying again (as TK assumes a DNS failure is unrecoverable). The server_ready_sleep_time allows users to configure a sleep time before TK checks to see if the host is ready. This is a hack, but it's an easy one.

Additionally, when use_dns is false, the vRA driver will still fallback to the hostname in the event an IP address is not found. This avoids the user needing to set use_dns to true in their environment in these cases.

Going to make this a bit smarter, closing for now.
