Disable Reverse DNS Lookup in SIM

I am having an issue where with server names in SIM. I have a set of servers where, after I discover them and identify them, the system name changes due to the reverse lookup performed by SIM returning a different name for the system. I was curious if there was a way to disable the reverse lookup step in the identify process?

No, both forward and reverse DNS lookups need to be functional for HP SIM. If you are unable to fix your DNS problems, you can get them under local control using a hosts file.
