As far as I know, there is currently no way to get rDNS resolved for netbird IPs.
If there is, please point me in the right direction.

Use Case:
When playing around with and especially troubleshooting HA routes, I often use mtr / traceroute to get the current active route. While I can use the web interface to decipher which IP corresponds to which host, it would be way easier if the node name shows up right away.
I'm sure there are many more use cases where this could be helpful.

I would love to hear your opinion on this.
