I am currently using dynamic inventory with ec2.ini set to use private\_dns\_name & private\_ip\_address

However certain host in a different subnet are showing up as ip-x.x.x.x.ec2-internal as opposed to just returning their private IP (which they have). Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?

e.g. I ran a plugin across the host based on tag and some returned incorrectly:
