Re: MySQL.Data v8.0.18 fails if more than one IP is found in DNS for a named host

Just to add a bit of clarity, I wanted to provide some additional information I collected while troubleshooting. This server is a VM hosted by a 3rd-party provider in a remote location. I was able to use RDP to connect to it (by name) without a problem, as well as browse files in a share on the server with the UNC path (\\<SERVERNAME>\Share\). From a basic networking and operational perspective, the server appears to be working normally.

From the command line, I ran a basic PING to the server in question. Then, I cleared the local DNS cache and tried again. I repeated this process a few times and got different addresses.

Each of the IP's match up with one of the IP's I get in code if I use the System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry() method to retrieve the .AddressList property for the server by name.

This particular server also hosts a public-facing Web site as well as an FTP server that are working normally. I can access the MySQL server instance on <SERVERNAME> via the MySQL Workbench (currently using 6.3 CE) by name without a problem. All of this along with the above information - the problem just started after updating the MySql.Data from NuGet - seems to point to a problem with the library over anything else.
