Explanation
8.8.8.8 is a public DNS server provided by Google. If the primary DNS server is set to this address, the DNS resolution for the FQDN may be returning the public IP address instead of the internal one. This means that DNS queries are not being routed to the internal DNS servers that should resolve the FQDN to the correct internal IP address.
