Attempts to get the hostname from an IP address.
Syntax
string host_from_ip (string $ip)
Parameter $ip
Expected type: String
Description: An IP address to get the hostname for
Return value
Expected type: String

Notes
- Attempts to use shell_exec first since you can set timeout limits that way
- Determines what command to send based on whether or not you're on a Windows host (nslookup for Windows or host for others)
- shell_exec usage is random depending on the outcome of rand(0,1)
- Sets the "host_to_dis" setting to 1 if the "-W" option on the host command returns "invalid option"
- Uses gethostbyaddr as a last resort
