IP / Hostname verification
We missing a IP / Hostname verification. If a host is deleted in the DNS but the IP is reused, Checkmk shows still a UP information of the IP but no info about the mismatch IP/Hostname or that it has something changed.
Hence we need a information at each host about such changes/missmatches.

Andycheckmk does a dns lookup ever time you activate the config, and the dns cache is only valid for 24 hours. So no need for this at all.

MimimiI once wrote a simple Nagios check that checked if forward and reverse DNS match and included it as "Integrate Nagios plugins" in checkmk and used it with $HOSTNAME$ , perhaps this is an solution here as well.
