But this is *very* rare. And for good reasons: it's not really clear what
it means. A machine can have:
- no fully qualified name (if you're not connected to the net).
- 1 FQDN
- several different FQDN (using only one IP address or using several IP
addresses via a single network interface, or over several network
interfaces, ...).
