While you are at that - it is a bit of a ‘pro’ feature - but being able to accept a ‘-‘ instead of a hostname & pipe a file in - or something similar - is most useful as well. 

Especially if it is omnipotent - so will *NOT* replicate the entry if a name is sent there more than once (even if that identifier has changed IP address in the meantime).

Hmm. That is odd.

Perhaps we should remove whatever code is doing that check.

If you have about 10k devices, do you have some existing database/spreadsheet/etc of ips and device names?

You could mangle this and dump it into a dns zone, making sure it keep it updated.

I guess it may be useful for the enterprise/paid version to also allow raw IP addressed to be added with the ‘addhost’ script; or even entire ranges; even if there is absolutely no (reverse) DNS at all.

Right now you have to fiddle quite a bit to work around the ‘no such hostname’.
