Additional context
I have tried to resolve using suggestions I've found. Specifically:
enable_http2: false
use_mobile_ui: true
increasing the timeout
has tested dns resolution from the container

Nothing has led to a resolution and I will need to abandon this solution unless we can figure out what the issue.

thanks in advance
