A slight extension to Jane's suggestion which, by the way,
works perfectly. Cut and paste this to a shell script (or a single line) and
you can avoid the typing. The command will add the rule where the
SmartSet editor won't allow cut and paste. (Subject for a customer
requirement).
nvUtil a NotInDNS "Hosts not in DNS" \
"('IP Hostname' ~
'[1-9]{1,3}\.[1-9]{1,3}\.[1-9]{1,3}\.[1-9]{1,3}')"
PS, it even displayed the entries where I manually changed the
label displayed on the icons.

Incidentally, I normally setup a non-DNS SmartSet that catches
any hosts
that NetView finds that isn't in the
DNS. If you have dome the 5-day
NetView class,
you will have seen this. It's a horrible regular
_expression_ to type correctly but you basically create a SmartSet of
nodes whose hostname field is an IP address. The
_expression_ you want is
(I hope):
~
^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}$
