Currently, wireshark can do automatic name resolution for hostnames. Or one can
disable that and do manual name resolution on a per packet bases. 

I'd like to se a per packet menu option to do name resolution via DNS. 
I guess it can be merged with the existing 'Manually Resolve Address', such
that there is a top-level option 'Resolve Address' with two suboptions
'Manually' and 'By DNS'.

I looked for this in open and closed bugs, as well as in the patch queue.
