The --force should be an option. And if it does not resolve but internal
DNS is used then there should be an option to add it to the DNS.

So I guess the logic should be:
1) No options and the host resolves -> success
2) No options and the host does not resolve -> failure
3) --force is specified and the host resolves -> success (force is ignored)
4) --force is specified and the host does not resolve -> host is added as is
5) --dns is specified but we do not use internal DNS -> failure invalid
parameter
6) --dns is specified and we use internal DNS and the host resolves ->
host is added to the hosts and host is not added to dns since it is
already there
7) --dns is specified and we use internal DNS and the host does not
resolve -> host is added to the hosts and to dns

NACK for now.
