This method will return one of two things, either the IP Address or a fully
qualified domain path. You however have no control over this. Your
firewall is one source of conflict. Depending on your fire wall rules you
may only get IP Addresses. It is up to your firewall to resolve the IP
Address to a domain name. If it doesn't do this then an IP Address is most
likely returned.
