Bug #12301

Cancel build returns 500 if host is unreachable
Description
If you leave a host in build mode, but after a while either DNS in the Foreman is broken, or the host is not available any more for whatever reason, cancelling the build becomes impossible.
It raises a 500 error with 'getaddrinfo: Name or service not known' or any similar exception, depending on the problem.
I think this should be handled gracefully and displayed to the user in a way the user can know what to do with this host now (check DNS, check the compute resource is reachable, etc...).

- Category set to Orchestration
This would be applicable to any host edit that triggers orchestration and external communication, it's not unique to build cancellation.
I think you'd need to be specific about what classes of errors to implement catch code for, so examples would be handy - e.g. a name lookup error from CR code would need different code to say, a name lookup error of a smart proxy.
