<h2 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h2>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Install Kubernetes via <code class="notranslate">KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=vagrant curl -sS https://get.k8s.io | bash</code></li>
<li>ssh into kubernetes minion</li>
<li>run <code class="notranslate">docker ps</code> a few times</li>
<li>See that the container is <a href="https://gist.github.com/tleyden/807aee9c4daa64973425#file-gistfile1-txt-L3">only up a few seconds</a> and then <a href="https://gist.github.com/tleyden/807aee9c4daa64973425#file-gistfile1-txt-L12">later restarts</a></li>
</ul>

<p dir="auto">I am running this set up locally and able to run pods, services, replicationcontrollers. When I set up the dns by running the rc and service as available in the skydns-rc.yaml.yaml and skydns-svc.yaml, observed that skydns exits repeatedly and gets created again. Watching the logs  of this container gives the following lines before exiting.</p>

<p dir="auto">Can this be considered normal behavior ? (albeit, the dns functionality works well)</p>
