Now, after actually READING the documentation of match_address, I saw
your comment, that would have saved me from finding this bug:

What's the exact problem with that? One could limit the search-string to
IP Adresses if neccessary, but I think a hostname shouldn't be a problem
too, if we do a DNS lookup first.
