[Xymon] Name instead of IP in hosts.cfg

Just use 0.0.0.0 for the IP address and it will use DNS.

Hi,

in the man-page I read:

"The format of an entry in the hosts.cfg file is as follows:

IP-address hostname # tag1 tag2 ..."

is there a way to use "hostname hostname # ..." instead? Reason is monitoring a service where the IP often changes.

Thanks for help, Rolf
