It sounds like you should be maintaining two dictionaries:

    hostname --> IP (+ other host-related data)

    IP --> hostname

Given a (newhost, newip) pair, first look for newip in the
IP --> hostname dictionary.

If it's there and the old hostname equals newhost, you're
finished.

If it's there with a different hostname, first delete
that entry from IP --> hostname, and also delete the
old hostname from hostname --> IP.

Now add tne new entry to both dictionaries.
