Hostname-Based Access Control (in addition to IP Address Control)

While IP whitelisting is a strong security feature, it lacks flexibility in dynamic or large-scale environments where IPs may change frequently (e.g., with DHCP, VPNs, or cloud-based networks). Allowing access control by hostname would offer a more adaptable solution, particularly for organizations with named internal DNS records or consistent device hostnames.
Proposed Functionality:
- Allow admins to define allowed hostnames in addition to IP addresses within the "IP Access Control" section.
- Hostnames would resolve via DNS and be checked during authentication.

Upvoting as I was gonna create this suggestion as well. FQDNs are a much, much better option than simple IP whitelisting.
