Hostname representation on the exit.pl page does not depend upon how torrc is configured or what appears in the descriptor. In fact, unless addr=1 is specified, the script always reverse-resolves an address to hostname and then also checks to determine whether the resulting hostname forward-resolves to the original address. If the condition is met, then it will display the hostname. Otherwise, it will display the original IP address.

The Wiki only says something about controling the DNS names for my server but I don't really know what that means and how that can be done. For DNS resolving, my PC contacts my ISP DNS servers. > > <http://www.nod32.com>
