{'ipaddress': IPAddress('::1'), 'hostname': 'localhost6.localdomain6', 'aliases': ['localhost6'], 'comments': None},
{'ipaddress': IPAddress('172.19.29.156'), 'hostname': 'igor', 'aliases': None, 'comments': None},
{'ipaddress': IPAddress('192.168.122.167'), 'hostname': 'marev3', 'aliases': None, 'comments': "marev3"}]

IPAddress('172.19.29.156')
