Hi All

We have a problem where some devices report their "Selection Name" as an IP
address instead of their hostname. We can not identify any differences
between devices that display their hostname as their Selection Name (good)
and those that display an IP address (bad).

We believe that all of the offending devices are routers.

Name resolution method is identical for good and bad nodes as is the IP
address type used in the seedfile.

Any ideas what would cause the Selection Name to be set to the IP address
instead of the hostname?

Cheers,
