Hi,

Is it possible to resolve the IP in quick values?  
I’d like to see the name rather then IP.

Check out the link below. Lookup tables seem to be the way in which this could be achieved. I have personally not looked into this and do not know the specifics of how DNS lookup could be achieved, I hope this helps.
