Attached is a 3rd iteration of the patch which changes address lookup so 
that gethostbyname is tried first, then falling back to inet_ntoa. Tested
it working with a variety of hostnames, some starting with digits, and 
tested with 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.1 and a non-localhost IP.

    Signed-off-by:  Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>

Regards,
Dan.
