Hide
The `fqdn_rand` function accepts an optional parameter to downcase the FQDN fact so that the function's result is not sensitive FQDN case. The parameter must be passed after the SEED string, such as fqdn_rand(100, 'expensive job 1', true). By default, the function remains case-sensitive.

Description

The DNS standard does not require hostnames to be case-consistent across different servers which are authoritative for the same domain.

Therefore, the fqdn_rand function should not assume that the FQDN of a given server, (which may rely on DNS lookup via getaddrinfo) will always be returned with identical case.
