Is there a work-around so that NAV does not lookup the DNS name of said devices?
Maybe a list in /etc/hosts could work?
Yes, and no, I'm afraid. While SeedDB uses the standard system resolver, ipdevpoll us built using the Twisted framework, which features its own DNS resolver code. ipdevpoll will talk directly to the resolvers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. So you might fool SeedDB, but not ipdevpoll.
There may be ways to have the Twisted names framework use both, though I haven't looked into it.
