Depending on how you have your active directory/nt4 domain structure set 
up, they should respond as an IP (as in \\10.10.0.1). If not, you can make 
sure that /etc/hosts is up to date and use a hostname instead of an IP 
address for $HOSTADDRESS$. I'd definitely want it to be the former, but the 
latter is a workable solution, just requires a wee bit more maintenance.

Also, if you're passing this to an external command, why not just add 
another argument for the servername?
