Not sure if this is the right spot for this or not... but here goes.
A quick tip on hostname resolutions -
I worked quite a bit in the netpath app today, and was frustrated that my map wasn't updating with the different IPs being shown along the path...
Then I realized these are all stored in the database, I just need to put them together and get them in a hostname file (or DNS Server).
So I whipped up a quick query and bam! I replaced the spaces in my caption field with underscores and pasted it in my host file. Now the maps show with all the hostnames.
I also copied this in to my local machine host file so traceroutes show up with full names.
select
NodeIPAddresses.IPAddress
,nodesdata.caption
from
nodesdata
inner join
NodeIPAddresses on nodesdata.NodeID = NodeIPAddresses.NodeID
