This (new to me) ip thingy

Greetings;

Confusion still reigns here.
For instance:
oot@coyote:~# ip m l eth0
2:      eth0
        link  01:00:5e:00:00:01
        link  33:33:00:00:02:02
        link  33:33:00:00:00:01
        link  01:00:5e:00:00:fb
        link  33:33:ff:62:fc:bb
        link  33:33:00:00:00:fb
        inet  224.0.0.251
        inet  224.0.0.1
        inet6 ff02::fb
        inet6 ff02::1:ff62:fcbb
        inet6 ff02::202
        inet6 ff02::1
        inet6 ff01::1

But add - -r so its supposed to show names, and get:
2:      eth0
        link  01:00:5e:00:00:01
        link  33:33:00:00:02:02
        link  33:33:00:00:00:01
        link  01:00:5e:00:00:fb
        link  33:33:ff:62:fc:bb
        link  33:33:00:00:00:fb
        inet  (5 second pause) 224.0.0.251
        inet  all-systems.mcast.net
        inet6 ff02::fb
        inet6 ff02::1:ff62:fcbb
        inet6 ff02::202
        inet6 ip6-allnodes
        inet6 ff01::1
Which, according to the manpage and my interpretation, should resolv the names those 6 (mac?) addresses belong to.  So while its seemingly working at the net hardwares speed, I think its telling me I am miss-configured somehow. There are not any ipv6 addresses in the hosts file that would translate to the same name as the machines given name. I tried that several years ago and it caused errors at the time.

This is an all static local network, with dns provided by everything here pointed at the router for nameservice that's not in the hosts file, running dnsmasq, which in turn forwards any dns lookups it doesn't have the answer to cached, to my ISP's servers.

Shouldn't the -r version show FQDN's?  And why is it not?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
