Sure. But there's no need for the client to have any particular sort of name for itself, so why pretend that it's name is host-based? (For the share -o root=... option Solaris really wants a root/hostname credential that it then checks against the reverse lookup on the client IP address. I'm not too hot on this, but at least that's only for root-equivalent access, not for general access.)
