Periodic update of DNS entries.

The new DNS mechanism to resolve instance names on private network with
multi hosted mode doesn't scale.
This patch add the possibility to update the DNS entries periodically on
each network host in addition to fanout cast each time the DNS entries
need to be updated.

DocImpact: new config options
Fixes LP bug #1086026
