maybe, afaik in my Internet given that these are client side checks if
the client right now has the two hostnames resolve *right now* to the
same ip, that coupled with the uuid matching would be sufficient to
ensure you are dealing with the same server

but granted your Internet might have sub-second DNS changes happening
all the time
