dict host param and fqdn

Hi,

I would like to use a fqdn instead of an IP address as redis host

quota_clone_dict = redis:host=redis.host.name:port=6379

But only ip adresses are supported

Error: quota_clone_dict: Failed to initialize 

'redis:host=redis.host.name:port=6379': dict redis: Invalid IP: redis.host.name

Why is name resolution not implemented here ? Is it for performance considerations ?
