It uses GetServer to get an address from the argument you give, which
tries first:
    code = sscanf(aname, "%d.%d.%d.%d", &b1, &b2, &b3, &b4);
    if (code == 4) {
        addr = (b1<<24) | (b2<<16) | (b3<<8) | b4;
        addr = ntohl(addr); /* convert to host order */

and then only 
    if (addr == htonl(0x7f000001)) {                /* local host */
       code = gethostname(hostname, MAXHOSTCHARS);

So what error do you get if you specify an IP address?
