Or, use /etc/hosts todo this!

Hi,
I think it would be a good idea if it's possible to use observium without dns, or to overwrite the hostname used to get snmp data. I have some devices with internal and external IP adresses, and I'd like to use the internal IP for polling, but the external hostname for the device itself.
Comments?
Regards, Patrick
Install a local DNS server at your Observium host, with a 'fake' zone containing your internal IP addresses, and point /etc/resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1
