It's silly to use the higher-level name_lookup(), because the way in which they differ is that name_lookup() allows DNS lookups to be deferred to the other side of a network proxy over which your connection is travelling - and when you're trying to find out your own host name for use as a database key, there's no _connection_ involved at all, and no potential proxy either.
