Description
An optimization can be introduced when a Host group consists of only IP addresses instead of Domain names for servers. Currently, Work orders for DNS resolution are placed on the Queue even when just the IP addresses for the servers are provided in the config. This can be avoided if NetCHASM can detect host groups with only IP addresses and cancel this part of the code flow.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing host-group configuration into the DNS-resolution work-order queue, then identify where IP-only groups can be detected. Done means groups containing only server IP addresses no longer enqueue DNS-resolution work orders.
