What the "Status Information" field is populated with depends entirely on the plugin (or script) being used. The check_dns plugin does not provide information regarding the MAC address of a particular network adapter.
If you want the "Status Information" for your host/service check to include the IP address as well as the MAC address, you'd probably need to use a different plugin. Something that leverages arping might be useful. I found this that seems to work well:
