The point is that this is a test of trust, not a matter of identification.

It's neither, this is a situation in which cfagent/cfengine would fail to interoperate due to 3rd party stupidity. I don't think it's even too unlikely that this will happen "in the wild" as it will occur any time a machine is renamed and /both/ machines are not informed of the DNS change.

At least in 2.0.4 is doesn't actually cause a crash. Perhaps I'm just being too fussy.
