Description

Mobile devices are (normally) not registered on dns, we can not depend on hostname verification.
Those devices should use skipidentify (less secure)

This looks like a valid workaround, but I'm invoking NCH for another validation

Thank you Cedric, this is awesome. I've merged it

However, I don't know on which version to target this fix, as it is on the android branch

Jon, I'll need your help on this one

AS you said, you've merged it... but on a special branch for Android so it does not look to be related to a Rudder version.

For the moment, I will remove its targeted version

Jon, what's your opinion on it ?

I think that ideally, this option (use of skipidentify) should be configurable on a host-by-host (or at least group-by-group) basis. It's not because a machine is running Android that DNS is unreliable, it's because it's in the field. So if you have an Android in an office, this is wrong, and if you have a Linux box out in the field, we'd need it too. For now, this an acceptable workaround, though.

As for the target version, since this isn't included in any release until the special branch for Android is merged into a main branch, it concerns no versions.
