I don't know how this sharing is supposed to be done, but whatever the usecase for it, denying user login because the local hostname cannot be resolved should definitely not be allowed here. The reason that I don't think you need to lookup the hostname is because the hostname is specified nowhere in the sudoers file, so it's wrong to simply lookup something that is not specified there. Perhaps it was easier to have a general approach of this matter, but you do have to admit the fact that sudo is looking up something that shouldn't be looked up. If we look a bit at the results (the machine being locked up for management, and a reboot required), I think that this general approach simply failed, and should be updated. Just my 0.02€.
