Allow domains in the ip field

This would be a nice addition since the wake on lan protocol which I use already supports domains. In the network discovery, domain names of devices are currently shown as the device name. I could implement an option to use this name as the domain name to ping the device as well. Since I also want to support IPv6 addresses Issue #4, I will implement these features together.

Hello,

First, I'd like to thank you @herzhenr for this project, which is yet another great open source tool! \o/

I tested the app and it looks, feels and works great. So I'd really like to stick to it entirely, but at the moment I can't since I also want to be able to wake my home server remotely (using wake-on-wan). But this would only be possible if this feature is implemented. So for now, I've got to use another app which tries to upsell me on dumb features I don't need on top of not feeling as simple and clean as yours.

Here are a couple of small suggestions I would add to this feature request:

• in the app I was using on Android, the label for the address was IP/Router Address to explicit the fact that both IP and FQDN addresses could be accepted. I imagine that if you were to implement this feature, it would be nice to make it visible in a similar way (or any other way really, just suggesting the simplest alternative I imagine). 🙂
• when choosing a different port number than the usual 7 or 9 (very likely when using wake-on-lan as usually people would use port-forwarding a rule at the router level to avoid exposing 7 or 9), the Port field behaves in an unexpected way (see screenshot below):
  • We can input text. I would have expected a numeric field as no text can be used for a port number.
  • The other port options can still be selected, which is a bit confusing as we're not entirely sure what the port is actually going to be used. I noticed that the port field gets updated when selecting 7 or 9. Maybe one way to fix this is to have a third chip option labelled other which reveals/enables the free numeric form if selected. Also this means that when people switch from other to 7 or 9, they don't get their custom value overridden (which is currently the case).

Have a great one!
