Speaking of hostname conflicts: an ISP in Vietnam has configured all their devices to have a reverse DNS name of "localhost"

I've experienced this too - I seem to get a few people joining my gameserver from that ISP and I notice the DNS appeared as 'localhost'. Not ideal and I imagine it could break certain things. I always assumed it was a misconfigured internet cafe or something. 'Nice' to know it's a wider issue
