[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy question (hostname instead of ip)

[Wouter de Jong]

Hello,

We are planning to use the Proxy feature of Dovecot,
but fail to implement it currently the way we would like to.

Reason is that proxy insists to have an IP-address as host :

Feb 15 15:43:24 proxy-test.widexs.nl dovecot: pop3-login: proxy(username):
mspool01-test.widexs.nl is not a valid IP

When I changed the query to force the IP-address of the above server, 
it works.

Would it be possible to make this work, but more important ... 
Are there any reasons NOT to make this work ? :))

Kind regards,

Wouter.
