Frequently asked questions
--------------------------
### Is it possible to have the hostname in reverse lookup?
It used to be like that in the beginning. But there are way too many special
cases... Devices without hostname, devices with same hostname, devices
switching from one network to another, devices with same hostname in
different network, ...
Fixing one broke another. It never really worked without problems. So
finally the code ended with what we have now.
I know about that side effect and limitation with reverse lookup, but
there's really no (easy) way to get that right without mac address. The
reverse lookup will always give a name based on mac address.
