Hi Ian, PrivateDNSName *to me* would be something that one would be able to > resolve... if displayname.whatever-set-domain.tld is resolvable at some > point in the system then this change seems sane. Otherwise use a tag. > I suggested Name because that is what the hostname gets set to. You can also resolve that name when dns querying the VR (at least on my basic network setup). I don't know what display name is used for. It does not come across in any of the meta-data from the VR.
