Ah, OK. That's in the list to be matched... I thought you meant a name
as the item being looked up in the list... i.e.
match_host{baythorne.infradead.org}{+my_host_list}

Perhaps I'm being dim, but I can't see why it can't be handled
identically. Why does it matter that the IP address under test is
explicitly specified by the match_host statement, rather than coming
from getpeername() or the command line's '-bh' option?
