No, it's a bug. add_ether_byip() *should* only add the name if the IP address
resolves to a name; it shouldn't do so if it couldn't be resolved to a name so
that the "name" is just an IP address.
I'm working on a fix, wherein each entry has a flag indicating whether it
includes a real host name, and add_ether_byip() checks that flag and adds the
new MAC-address-to-name entry only if that flag is set.
