You don't need anything fancy here. You are specifing the key yourself.
If you want to use a net32-type file, you could always write

.... ${lookup {$sender_host_address/32} ....

Oh my goodness. It shouldn't be doing that. What hardware architecture?

It is my believe that the existence of both "little endian" and "big
endian" processors has caused more bugs of this type than most other
things.

I think that is probably what's caused this. I'll investigate.
