 https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#details_relay_host_name

 > Host name as found in a reverse DNS lookup of the relay's primary IP
 address. This field is updated at most once in 12 hours, unless the relay
 IP address changes. Omitted if the relay IP address was not looked up, if
 no lookup request was successful yet, or if no A record was found matching
 the PTR record.

 There are many relays for which the host_name field contains the IP
 address, and there will be no A record for IP addresses, so the spec does
 not match what onionoo does? There are only 2 relays for which onionoo
 does not provide the host_name field.
