Sir, I seriously think that sudo is meant to raise/change privileges of the current user, and this has nothing to do with the network. The manual page makes this short description: "sudo, sudoedit - execute a command as another user".
But I am certain that you can explain me who says that the local hostname is mandatory, and in what circumstances.
My strong belief, as an expert computer user, is that if no host was specified in the command line or sudoers file, there should be no resolving whatsoever.
Please fix bugs, don't bloat the software! I don't want my system to become more fragile than Windows 95.
