Dieter is correct, syncmethod = none will not do any synchronization 
with other instances. For this use case, a syncmethod = poll or 
something similar may be helpful, but I won't (realistically) get around 
to implement that in the next few months myself. Patches are certainly 
welcome!

It uses the host name reported by the system (should be the same you get 
e.g. by calling hostname).

No, it shouldn't be, and I have not observed that behaviour (but I am 
not using syncmethod = none in practice myself). This might be a bug.
