It would be nice if we could have a dimension to resolve hostname for IP's. It should make identifying source/destinations easier.

Not a fan of this idea. This would be super expensive, notably for IPv6.

This would be super expensive, notably for IPv6.

Could it possibly be resolved client side and only once they add in a "srcHostname", "dstHostname" dimension in order to reduce some potential cost?

Browsers cannot do DNS resolutions, but we can proxy them (or just do it server side for the returned results). It could work for dimensions.
