Server HostName

We don't run DNS for local server names so I enter them in by IP in the hosts file. The downside of this is I have to remember servers my their IP not a descriptive name. As part of the Host details can apt-dater pull back the Hostname and then in the menu system reference the server by the hostname not the IP/FQDN located in the hosts file? Thanks for all the good work on this app!

Move the mapping into the stub resolver (/etc/hosts) or into ssh's configuration (Host statement in ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh/ssh_config). It is possible to specify the ip or portnumber within apt-dater's hosts file... but it might be more reasonable to make the mapping available outside of apt-dater.
