It sounds to me that what we are interested in is a map "name or IP ->
aliases" but the DNS CNAME tables are "aliases -> name" map.

The only way I can figure out is to test the DNS for every new cfengine class is
met to see if we can find out one of our IP adresses again.

That would also solve the multiple name -> same IP case by the way...
