It was added in 4.33, and so only documented in doc/NewStuff.
iplsearch only accepts IP addresses as lookup keys. Maybe the
errorstring could be a bit more verbose about this.

You'll have to use net-iplsearch here, so the match-code hands over the
ip, not the hostname. The lookup code could try to fetch A records for a
given hostname, but what should it do when multiple A records are returned?
