Maybe reverse DNS “IP to Hostname” is broken …

For correct DNS functionality, the nameserver’s PTR record must resolve to a hostname that matches the one returned by the corresponding A (or AAAA) record. In practice, this means the system should have a single canonical hostname, and any additional names should be configured as aliases (e.g., via CNAME or alternative DNS entries), which typically do not appear in reverse DNS lookups. A mismatch between these records can lead to resolution errors, failed hostname verification, or service-level issues in systems relying on strict DNS consistency.

DNS name resolution is part / a functionality of the scanner directly (with library support of the underlying OS) and not a VT functionality.
