Hello.
Searching through the code shown me that all stuff is located in sql/hostname.cc file. MySQL depends on gethostbyaddr_r and uses the "official" name of the host which it returns. According to rfc897: "Hosts have an official (or primary) name and possibly several nicknames. When mail is sent from a host, the official name is used in the mail header address fields." The official name is only one, and MySQL uses it. For more details see the source.
