Unable to contact the service using DNS in the service

I am trying to get a stateless service to send a value to another, just to achieve communication between services using a DNS service in the service. I tested both apps with postman and they work great. I am following this tutorial where it seems pretty straight forward to do this.

DNS service enabled:

Stateless service has DNS name: DNS name configured in ApplicationManifest.xml

<Service Name="SocketService" 
 ServiceDnsName="SocketService.TimeSeriesActorApplication" 
 ServicePackageActivationMode="ExclusiveProcess">
    <StatelessService ServiceTypeName="SocketServiceType" 
     InstanceCount="[SocketService_InstanceCount]">
       <SingletonPartition />
   </StatelessService>
</Service>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Then I try to send http access to the service like in the tutorial.

using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
 client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://socketservice.timeseriesactorapplication:8712/api/");
 var response = await client.GetAsync("values");
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

But I am getting an exception:

WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'socketservice.timeseriesactorapication'

This happens when I use port 8080 as the tutorial suggests, and when I use the port I specify in the ServiceManifest.xml.

<Endpoints>
  <Endpoint Protocol="http" Name="ServiceEndpoint" Type="Input" Port="8712" />
</Endpoints>

      

        
        
        
      

    

What am I missing here?

Update: Using localhost instead of dns-name also works great.
