Force Hostname Lookup

Browse source 
By default, pinger will not lookup hostnames for IPs that are
unreachable.  This prevents extended times if dead IPs do not have host
entries.  However, there are also cases where DNS resolution is
important even when the IP is unreachable.  pinger now supports this
using the -f flag.
