IIRC, everything is pretty much passed around as IP address internally. The topology script is expected to take IP as input. But even so, it is probably smart to play for both IPs and names. FWIW, I actually have a slight example of what we used at Yahoo! and its output buried in my Hadoop 24/7 presentation from Apachecon this year.
