> The SSLSocketChannel class in nifi-security-utils obtains the remote
> address's hostname via a call to InetAddress.getHostName():
> {code}
> final Socket socket = socketChannel.socket();
> this.hostname = socket.getInetAddress().getHostName();
> {code}
> This hostname is captured only for use in the message of Exceptions or
> logging and not programmatically. The use of this reverse DNS lookup, though,
> can be expensive and cause long delays in an environment where reverse DNS
> lookups are not available. As a result, we should use InetAddress.toString()
> instead, which will provide the hostname, if it is available, and the IP
> address without performing a reverse DNS lookup.
