What:
Use host from the original hosts list when boreas is enabled
Why:
When boreas is enabled, a new host element is created with only the IP address,
while the hostname was lost during the alive detection.
How:
Find a host which has an alias, which resolves to an IP. The ip reverse-lookup to another hostname/vhost. eg www.google.com
it resolves to 142.250.184.196, and the IP reverse-lookup to fra24s11-in-f4.1e100.net
