Foreman 1.17 auto-installation fails with "Forward DNS 10.3.1.11 did not reverse resolve to any hostname."

Description
Noticed, when I tried to install version 1.17:
Forward DNS 10.3.1.11 did not reverse resolve to any hostname.
Your system does not meet configuration criteria
That's not very verbose, but the error message points towards https://github.com/Katello/katello-installer/blob/master/checks/dns.rb
This issue may be related to #22260 since I can auto-install Foreman 1.15 just fine (didn't check 1.16).

This issue may be related to #22260 since I can auto-install Foreman 1.15 just fine (checked foreman-installer 1.16 - no error as well).
And adding server name and ip to /etc/hosts worked as a bypass.
- Project changed from Foreman to Installer
- Status changed from New to Feedback
If that IP doesn't resolve correctly the check IMHO indeed did its job and the message is correct.
That check got added to avoid problems later in setups without correct forward and reverse resolving (#8301)
At the moment I don't see a reason to change anything. Tina, please let us know, if there are problems besides the check.
