Description:
------------
gethostbyaddr does not return an array of hosts. Since 'host' on a linux/unix based system will return all of them for a specific IP, I think this should too. If it was intended to be this way, then this should be a feature request. If this function was intended to mimic the gnu host command, then this should be classified as a bug.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Only returns one entry. All versions.

Expected result:
----------------
Should return all host names associated with ip as gnu host does. Or an added feature to return all hosts as an array.

Actual result:
--------------
Single host returned.

Yes, it's supposed to only return one.

Can you please update this to a feature request? Status should not be bogus.
