Currently, the resolution of host names in the driver, which is the one used by the admin console, is essentially performed via a reverse DNS lookup. In some situation, such as private addresses in a cloud setup, thuis lookup will fail, and only the ip address will be displayed in the conosle.

We propose to resolve the host name nonetheless, based on the JPPFSystemInformation.getNetwork() data provided by the node upon handshaking with the server. Indeed, the node may have a locally available host name which cannot be resolved on the driver machine.
