Speed up HoD connections to hosts not in DNS

For some reason, HoD emulation does a reverse lookup even though an IP address has been supplied. If the host is not in DNS, then connectivity is delayed up to 30 seconds before the reverse is bypassed. Have an option to bypass reverse lookup upon connecting.

Another option would be to completely skip reverse lookup if an IP address is supplied as the host name.

    This must have been already fixed in HOD v14.x due to architectural changes to the transport layer.
    Marking the RFE as REJECTED.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
