Comment (by yawning):

 I'm not sure, maybe defining a HS backed by something DNS round robined?
 (But the correct thing to do there would be to specify multiple
 VIRTPORT/TARGET pairs with the same VIRTPORT).

 Unless someone chimes in with a use case for FQDNs soon-ish, I'm likewise
 inclined to restrict this to IP addresses (and also deprecate supporting
 the old `inet_aton()` style IPv4 addrs).
