[Nav-users] Editdb doesn't like hostnames?

I was wondering if it's an absolute that when bulk importing IP Devices that the ip field needs to be a numeric address and not a DNS name.

Apparently it is. As the format goes: #roomid:ip:orgid:catid:[ro:serial:rw:function:subcat1:subcat2..] ^^

Firstly, EditDB should not blow up like that over such an error in the input. I would likely file that as a bug - if you'd like to, you can file it yourself at http://sf.net/projects/nav .

Secondly, I do think it should support DNS lookup when host names are used in bulk input. I believe it already does so when adding a single device. This should be added as a feature request on the above page.
