Yeah, a new function was a thought that had crossed my mind as well. getfqdnbyname, maybe? Or gethostnamefqdn? Then deprecate calling getfqdn without an argument. I agree that gethostbyaddr accepting a non-IP is weird. I have no idea why it was implemented that way, much less why it is used that way. It's been that way for a long time, though.
