Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I'm pretty sure an all numeric hostname is considered just invalid by
most measures. For example, along the same lines as Breno points out,
"getent hosts 1234" returns nonsensical results.
So this is Won't Fix or Invalid by design across the Unix/Linux
ecosystem I believe. RFC952/RFC1123 say that an all numeric hostname is
invalid in DNS, so if you want the system to participate in DNS (ie. the
Internet) then this does not make sense either.
** Changed in: rabbitmq-server (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
