Can You Set IP Address for System Hostname?

This may be an odd question but I’m trying to figure out if you can control the IP that your system host-name and domain resolve to. By default they resolve to 127.0.1.1 and adding a static host entry doesn’t override it.

set system host-name fw1
set system domain-name example.org
commit
save
exit
nslookup fw1.example.org
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   fw1.example.org
Address: 127.0.1.1

Welcome @absolutesantaja! I noticed this too recently and logged a ticket for it here. All I can do is suggest you subscribe.

Cheers!
