+<p>Sometimes it is necessary to authenticate the remote device that is
+connected through a public IP network. You can do this by querying and comparing
+the <i>domain name system</i> (DNS) name of the device to its IP address.
+To perform host resolve queries to both directions, use the <codeph><xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/reference/reference-cpp/ESock_Server/RHostResolverClass.html" format="application/java-archive">RHostResolver</xref></codeph> class. </p>
+<p>Note that this is not a secure way to authenticate remote devices, because
+some clients (for example, in a local network) may not have DNS names at all
+. For reliable authentication and secure communication, use stronger methods
+like key exchange or secure protocol solutions.</p>
