Hostname resolution

mrFing

I'm curious how the Fing app manages to quickly resolve hostnames on the local network? When I do an nmap scan on my local network I don't get ip addresses resolved to hostnames.

Hi @mrFing
I've checked with @Carlo_from_Fing - and this is done by:
Querying the local DNS server, if present, using standard DNS protocol. 

I hope this helps!
