Check online status by hostname

[Wengrzik, Andreas]

Hello!

What is the best way to check if a client is online by his hostname??

Wie do a lot changing ip addresses but the hostnames always stay...
Any ideas??
Thanks a lot!!


Is it possible to create a host with his hostname? Or do i always need an ip address??
