Hi all,

some time ago there was a thread discussing how to retrieve a hostname for an 
IP adress in the rules file. I *think* there was an answer quoting the usage 
of gethostbyaddr (or so) as of Omnibus 3.6, but can't find the thread anymore.

Has anybody used this and can confirm the syntax for me ? 

I'd like to avoid the duplication of the host table towards a local lookup, 
which of course would be anotgher way to solve the issue, I know. 

Thanks,

Michael
