Exclude hostnames that are pure PTR DNS records. i.e. ip 172.16.84.135 as host name 172-16-84-135.

These hostnames should not be added to the IPAM address host name field as part of a scan report update.

example at path nmaprun.host which is a list of dict:

{
    "address": {
        "@addr": "172.16.83.68",
        "@addrtype": "ipv4"
    },
    "hostnames": {
        "hostname": {
            "@name": "172-16-83-68.cluster-service.automation.svc.cluster.local",
            "@type": "PTR"
        }
    },
    "status": {
        "@reason": "echo-reply",
        "@reason_ttl": "62",
        "@state": "up"
    },
    "times": {
        "@rttvar": "260499",
        "@srtt": "260499",
        "@to": "1302495"
    }
}

of note "@type": "PTR" does not denote the DNS name is a PTR, just that a PTR record was used to resolve. if the host has propper DNS name it will still show up in the @name field

Task

Filter out PTR DNS records as an IP Address host name

Exclude hostnames that are pure `PTR` DNS records. i.e. ip `172.16.84.135` as host name `172-16-84-135`. These hostnames should not be added to the IPAM address host name field as part of a scan report update. example at path `nmaprun.host` which is a `list of dict`: ``` json { "address": { "@addr": "172.16.83.68", "@addrtype": "ipv4" }, "hostnames": { "hostname": { "@name": "172-16-83-68.cluster-service.automation.svc.cluster.local", "@type": "PTR" } }, "status": { "@reason": "echo-reply", "@reason_ttl": "62", "@state": "up" }, "times": { "@rttvar": "260499", "@srtt": "260499", "@to": "1302495" } } ``` of note `"@type": "PTR"` does not denote the DNS name is a PTR, just that a PTR record was used to resolve. if the host has propper DNS name it will still show up in the `@name` field ## Task - [x] Filter out `PTR` DNS records as an IP Address host name
