poor handling of RFC1918 ("internal") addresses #1441

This could be an agent issue, but I suspect it's the plugin doing it.

Hosts which have RFC1918 ("internal" addresses have their DNS network names changed to "internal" during network discovery/snmp inventory, even if they are locally resolvable

Many large organisations use these IP ranges extensively and renaming assigned hostnames to something unrelated is a "really bad idea"

It would be better if FI pasted resolved names/domains into the network name/domain field and left the fields alone entirely if they cannot be resolved.

Can you give an example of that you have and that you want?

host 192.168.30.245 had its network name (manually configured in glpi) changed from switchb.mars to internal.mars

Lots of similar examples.

I've verified that the resolved name is passed correctly from FI-agent (it uses nmap to obtain this)

If a host resolves then the resolved name should be used.
