Firewalla Web IP Resolution

On the Firewealla Web interface, IP addresses are not resolved if they are internal devices. I suspect that is because Firewalla is going out to DNS for reverse resolution of the IP addresses - which make sense. But Firewalla knows all these devices - can we make it check the internal device database for names and then only go out to DNS for external devices?

The same should be true for MAC address resolution - I'm not sure why I would see the MAC address if the flow is to a known device. 

Unless I have something configured wrong, of course, - which is always a possibility.

  You mean you want to display 192.168.86.40 with device name? this is reasonable. May I know where is this interface? is this the my.firewalla?

  Thanks for the quick response. 

  Yes, use the name for known devices on the internal network - I make sure all my devices are named so I know what they are. 

  And yes on https://my.firewalla.com/
