Nomad version

Operating system and Environment details

Issue

If i create a Job with region a en submit it on the nomad server in region b i get:

      * No nodes were eligible for evaluation
      * No nodes are available in datacenter "a1"

when i change the datacenter to b1 it works.
So it looks like the region is ignored.

Reproduction steps

1. Setup 2 nomad servers and 2 nomad clients (A/B region setup)
2. Create a job for region A
3. Submit the job on region B

Job file (if appropriate)

job "example" {
    # Run the job in the global region, which is the default.
    region = "a"

    # Specify the datacenters within the region this job can run in.
    datacenters = ["a1"]
