+Summary: Mono's Dns.GetHostName does not behave like the .NET equivalent
+
+Description of Problem:
+using .NET on Windows I can issue a Dns.GetHostName call and pass in the
+computer name.  The call will return an array of my local addresses except
+the loopback address.  My computer name does not exist in a DNS server nor
+does it exist in a host file.  On Mono, this same setup will return zero
+addresses.  This is reproduced in a ZeroConf setup where the workstation
+assigns itself a local link IP Address.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Setup the workstation so it's not rooted in DNS or in a host file
+2. use the .NET call Environment.MachineName property to retrieve
+the machine name 
+3. Pass in the returned machine name to the Dns.GetHostName call
+
+
+Actual Results:
+no addresses are returned
+
+Expected Results:
+behave like .NET on Windows and return all local addresses except for loopback.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+everytime
+
+Additional Information:
+Obviously, if I add my machine to the host file the call works as expected.
