No.

"host XXX" in libpcap/WinPcap (the library that Wireshark/TShark - and a 
*lot* of other software, including tcpdump/WinDump - uses to capture 
traffic) - means "traffic to or from the IPv4 address or the IPv6 
address corresponding to XXX".

That requires that libpcap/WinPcap (and thus the application using it) 
resolve any host name given in "host XXX" expressions.

No.
