1. Proposed title of this feature request  
    => Have the ability to define a DNS name for an endpoint (only supports IP for now)
     

 
    3. What is the nature and description of the request?  
    => We need a very convenient feature when using OpenShift External Services:

As an OpenShift user, I want to have the ability to define External Services pointing to Endpoints on which I only have the hostname (not only the IP address).

This is very convenient for databases or other services available in AWS, like AWS Relational Databases Systems.

This issue is fixed by [1] in the following PR in k8s upstream but is subject to a lot of discussions[3].

The issue has been closed in favour of other issue more related to naming and "internal services".

There is a very ugly workaround that still exists which rely on deploying an extra HA Proxy to only to the Hostname to IP indirection. [2]
