I believe the same script would be used on a local development VM. Since I don't have DNS for my host-only vm adapter, a reverse dns lookup would fail.

I have a cluster where the order of nics on one of the nodes is in a different order and ifconfig returns a IP from a different subnet than for other nodes. But DNS and reverse DNS are properly configured.
