Try to ping the slave instance from inside the slave container, giving the hostname generated by Swarm to the slave instance inside the master instance.

In other words:

/etc/hosts inside master will show most likely that the hostname of slave is "rafaelbenevides_slave_1".
You can ping rafaelbenevides_slave_1 from master.
You cannot ping rafaelbenevides_slave_1 from slave itself.

That's right! The generated internal hostname doesn't follow the "docker-compose" convention.

If you force the hostname="slave" on slaves and scale it, there will be rafaelbenevides_slave_1, rafaelbenevides_slave_2 and rafaelbenevides_slave_3 for master, but all of them will call itself as "slave". Which makes sense because we forced a hostname.

To check what was the generated hostname for the slave instance, run the following:

    $ docker exec -ti swarm-node-02/rafaelbenevides_master_1 cat /etc/hosts

You will see something like this:

    10.0.0.3    master
    127.0.0.1   localhost
    ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    10.0.0.2    rafaelbenevides_slave_1
    10.0.0.2    rafaelbenevides_slave_1.my-swarm-network

Now that you found that the generated hostname for slave is rafaelbenevides_slave_1, try to ping that hostname address from the slave instance itself:

    $ docker exec -ti swarm-node-01/rafaelbenevides_slave_1 ping rafaelbenevides_slave_1

The command above fails because /etc/hosts of the slave instance does not have the generated hostname entry the same way as in master's.

That is the issue.
