It would be also good that when resolving names for IP's / IP ranges, that phpipam would then store this information automatically after resolving.
I have noticed poor performance when viewing a subnet with 254 IP addreses as it takes 15-20 secs to resolve the hostnames on each page refresh. Obviously I could edit each IP individual and save the hostname, however this is a lot of effort for a large range of addresses. It would be better if these were resolved ONLY when adding the IP/IP range then saved in "DNS name" fields to prevent need to resolve on each page load.

Yes and one option to add: [x] only add as active if dns resolved
have a look at this cron script, there is already interesting available:
functions\scripts\resolveIPaddresses.php
Maybe there should be an additional dashboard for script results and actions that need attention, like what happens when DNS entry gets deleted, or multiple dns entries found, or mismatch between dns and ip-dns-name, wrong or multiple PTR-Records ...

Attached is an mock up of what I mean...
Tick the box...IP's resolved via DNS, then stored in "DNS names" field.

Implemented in 1.2, nameservers are added that can be linked to subnet to resolve addresses.
