Here is what happens in the ldmd.log: Aug 02 18:40:10 3Q:thelma rpc.ldmd[86061]: gethostbyaddr: failed for 130.39.188.220 Aug 02 18:40:10 5Q:thelma 130.39.188.220[85337]: Connection from 130.39.188.220 Aug 02 18:40:10 5Q:thelma 130.39.188.220(feed)[85337]: Starting Up: 19990802183851.448 TS_ENDT {{WMO, ".*"},{FSL2, ".*"}} Aug 02 18:40:10 5Q:thelma 130.39.188.220(feed)[85337]: topo: 130.39.188.220 FSL2|WMO Notice that first the gethostbyaddr fails, however since the IP address is matched in the ldmd.conf file, the feed is still created and named using the IP address.
