Yeah, that doesn’t work the way you’d like it to:

* The API spec for `gethostname` says nothing about DNS, so it could return 
something completely unrelated.

* The macOS implementation tries to come up with a reasonable DNS value based 
on the local network environment, but that means it’s not stable.  Back when I 
used to commute, I’d regularly see one value at work and a different value when 
I brought my laptop home.

Share and Enjoy
