Can Geode work with hostnames instead of IPs?

Is there any guide on how to run Geode with hostnames?
Does Geode resolves the hostname to IPs and use IPs while connecting to
peers? This means that for SSL then the certificate needs SAN to contain IP
and not just hostname.

I recall that at least gfsh connecting to a locator over https will attempt
to verify the hostname by default - see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3445

Best,

Yes, it uses InetAddresses.  I think it could be changed to use 
InetSocketAddresses but AFAIK java.net.Socket code just plucks the 
InetAddress out of one of those and uses it, ignoring the host name.
