I recently upgraded to Foreman 1.5.0 and just discovered that I can't provision a new VM when the initial attempt results in any DNS issue. I get a 500 response stating that the MAC address is invalid.

I get the following stack trace in the GUI:

From Foreman's production log:

There is absolutely nothing in the foreman proxy log.

To clarify, this occurs when attempting to provision a new machine on VMware. The auto-suggested IP was previously in use, so a PTR record already exists. I ack the warning and click "Overwrite" and then get the 500 error.
