I gave in and ran some tests myself.
My optimism was misplaced, but it doesn't matter. Your code gets
given the raw string from the user; it is _not_ colon-to-dot
translated - it can have any format of ipv6 or ip4 address
(and possibly also just be bogus).
This is with a direct ${lookup } call as per your testcases.
I don't know if a lookup done via the list-syntax
"hosts = corkipset:/filename"
will be different. Probably it will, sigh.
