Summary0003314: Make nss plugin gethostbyaddr work
DescriptionCurrently the nss plugin always returns UNAVAIL (because NORETURN would cause DNS reverse lookups to fail)

The stubs of functions are already implemented, but a ip => zone/name mapping is not possible using the current api.
TagsNo tags attached.

I don't think we should do a reverse lookup for IP addresses.
GNS's datastore is virtually guaranteed to not know the answer,
and if we hijack that API the user has no longer a way to specify that
he wants the IP to reversed via DNS.
