Feature request: hostnames for coordinators

A cautionary note: all the fault-tolerance in the world won’t help you if your database grows a dependency on an external system (DNS) that can be down or otherwise unreachable.

I’m not saying it’s always a bad idea, but think carefully about what kind of SLO you’re aiming for, and how deliberately coupling things such that a failure in an unrelated system can bring FDB down could impact that.
