DataNode appears to require DNS name resolution as opposed to direct ip mapping

                 Key: HADOOP-685
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-685
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: dfs
         Environment: osx, ubuntu 6.10b
            Reporter: James Todd
            Priority: Minor


DataNode appears to require DNS resolution of nodes via the class 
org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS as opposed being able to use a specified ip.

as an example, i was not able to set up more then one instance of dfs datanodes 
on one box using loopback w/ varying ports since DataNode
resolved the ip of 127.0.0.1 to be "foo.bar" which was then mapped to the dhcp 
allocated ip of 192.168.0.***, which was not addressable by the
rest of the dfs cluster (namely namenode).

while this example is trivial one should be able to use the very same process 
yet change only the ip's of the nodes and have things work as
expected.

it would be nice to not always require nds resolution.
