No. The IP Hostname column explicitly uses name resolution from the Windows operating system hosting HP Web Jetadmin. The value displayed by this column is usually but not always registered in a domain name service on the Windows Active Directory. There are many forms of name service and the Windows system can resolve IP addresses into names (called getNamebyAddr) through a variety of methods.
