--
Wireshark "Statistic -> Show address resolution" or tshark -qz hosts  uses DNS
traffic within a capture to resolve ip addresses to domain names.
If a trace contains reverse lookups (type PTR) the positive answers from DNS is
not used for this purpose. 

It would be of great benefit if also those DNS answers could be used to resolve
ip addresses to names.
