Hi,

I cannot contribute to the concrete question, but note that a host can have
multiple addresses and can therefore be reachable under multiple host
names. Depending on what you try to do, it may matter and you better check
that you actually get the name that you expect in your production
environment.

Kind regards,
Jakob
