This patch allows the dovecot proxy processes to lookup the destination host by name instead of IP address. Tested agains 1.2.10, expected to work against 1.2.11. .. Feedback is appreciated, particulary from a security standpoint.

The patch itself looks fine and I don't think there are any security issues, but..

1. I was hoping to avoid changing v1.2.x much anymore. I'm even a bit hopeful that v1.2.11 could be the last v1.2 release (before v2.0.0).

2. v2.0 has solved dns lookups by using a separate dns lookup service.
