Hello Robert,
(2) you are not against improving the documentation, although you find it
clear enough already, but you agree that some people could get confused.
The attached patch v4 only improves the documentation so that it reflects
what the implementation really does. I think it too bad to leave out the
user-friendly aspects of the patch, though.
Robert, any chance you could opine on the doc patch, given that's your
suggested direction?
I find it to be a more change than we really need, and I'm not sure
how much it helps to clarify the issue at hand. Here is a simpler
change which seems like it might do the trick (or maybe not, let's see
what others think).
It is a minimal diff on "hostaddr" documentation which clarifies what is
its intended use. I'm okay with it.
However, it does not discuss that an IP can (and should, IMHO) be given
through "host" if the point is to specify the target by its IP rather than
a lookup shortcut.
