Thanks Giovanni,

Its not really a "requirement" per se, the only requirement is that
the hostname specified is a FQDN that is accessible, as Jeff puts it
in [0] "Perfect: from this (and other remarks) and other comments
your definition of "proper FQDN" policy can be inferred (afaict):

        The hostname reported in sksconf needs to be a "proper FQDN"."

This is because it is used as the identifier, and will be what is
shown in the status page of the pool[1] at any given time, in order
for it not to be duplicates there.

But to properly show the peer mesh in e.g. [2], which isn't really
being used for anything by me (read, the pool), it holds true that the
membership entry and sksconf entry has to be the same.
