Description

As is right now if using a hostname instead of an IP address the smp container fails to start.

If hostname was supported would be very useful for compose setups without needing to assign specific IPs

Research direction

Locate the proxy option handling and SMP server startup path in the repository, then reproduce the failure using a hostname instead of an IP address. Trace where the hostname is rejected or mishandled and add coverage for a compose-style hostname; done means the SMP container starts successfully with that configuration.
