Well (apart from the colon typo, which you know about), that won't work.
An "lsearch" in a host list searches for the host *name*. If you want to
search for IP addresses, you need "net-lsearch". This hasn't changed.

Yup. Within a host list (which is scanned sequentially) you can mix
names and IP addresses, but not in a lookup, because Exim has to know
what key to use for the lookup.
