Description
Feature Request
Describe the feature you'd like:
If a user has something like MagicDNS/Tailscale setup, could we get the ability to put the domain name instead of the actual IP in the topology? i.e.
...
pd_servers:
- host: hostIP
- host: node1.domain.net
- host: node2.domain.net
tikv_servers:
- host: node1.domain.net
...
Why the featue is needed:
Simplify setup
Describe alternatives you've considered:
Writing the actual IP
