Ah, that is for local node only...
For remote nodes I would strip FQDN part which begins right at that dot
where FQDN of local node and its uname differ.

my_ring_address == 10.0.0.XXX
my_uname() == "host232"
getaddinfo(my_ring_address) == host232.some.very.long.domain.name.com.

my_node_name = "host232"
my_domain = "some.very.long.domain.name.com."

his_ring_address == 10.0.0.YYY
getaddinfo(his_ring_address) == host238.some.very.long.domain.name.com.

strstr("host238.some.very.long.domain.name.com.", my_domain) != NULL

his_node_name = "host238"
