Comment(by nickm):

 Hm. tor_addr_split isn't quite right; it allows anything in the address
 portion when instead we almost certainly want to make sure it's an IPv4 or
 an IPv6 address, right?  I suggested that we not use tor_addr_split
 because we don't want these things to be hostnames.  Do we?

   There really ought to be a tor_addr_port_parse.  I think we could build
 one out of tor_addr_parse and tor_addr_split, or out of
 tor_addr_parse_mask_ports with appropriate arguments set to NULL.

 >Should we also change the rest of the places in config.c where
 tor_addr_port_lookup is used to use tor_addr_port_split?

 Not as part of this ticket.  Only when it seems likely that DNS resolution
 would be a poor idea.
