Please better explain what this is intended to fix, I can't reproduce any case where this is blocked myself.

Maybe paste some examples using curl to craft the working and non-working requests?
Are you sure the problem you see is not caused by an issue in your network configuration?

When requesting the /setup/eureka_info endpoint using a hostname (instead of a plain IP), the request is blocked. I can reproduce this both with an Nvidia Shield and a Google Home Mini. I doubt my network influences this, as the devices are on the same L2 and L3 network and can communicate directly. Here are some simple curl commands for reproduction:

Working
