Yup, this one is a real pain.  Somebody should extend the size of the
field.  In the meantime, you can get the full name with nslookup.  For
example,

=== grog@freebie (/dev/ttypa) ~ 5 -> netstat 
Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
tcp        0      0  gregl1.lnk.telst.1223  www.sofcom.com.a.http  CLOSE_WAIT
tcp        0      0  gregl1.lnk.telst.1222  www.sofcom.com.a.http  CLOSE_WAIT
=== grog@freebie (/dev/ttypa) ~ 6 -> netstat -n
Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
