Any time I touch the dns-resolver on holmium, a ton of alarms go off about internal DNS resolution on labs hosts. This is true even after I changed resolv.conf to point to labservices1001 as the primary.
That's because labs services (including the proxies) just aren't smart about noticing change sin resolv.conf. The right solution is to use a single IP for resolution, and have lvs point to both holmium/labservices1002 and labservices1001 for redundancy.
