ansible_host is false

[bym0]

I'm using a LXC Container on Proxmox. IP for the Container is given via DHCP. I thought then the proxmox.py script would be passing on the container name, but instead i get false.

root@ansible-fsn02-p01:/opt/ansible# ansible-inventory -i proxmox.py --host timobergende-fsn02-p01.customer.bit.lan

Is there a way to fix this? Is this because the Container gets their IP by DHCP and therefore the IP is not known to proxmox?
