Looking into this; though most of the examples out there say really odd and not relevant stuff like "if using static IP use realip+hostname, otherwise if DHCP use 127.0.0.1+hostname", which is, well, wrong. If this does need to be changed, I think I'd with a fix where, when connected to something, NM always wrote out realip+hostname, and when disconnected, used 127.0.0.1+hostname.
