So it should work in a way that host=<hostname> and hostip=<ip> is sent. I thought my patch did that.. Normally auth_debug=yes would be enough to debug this, but this happens between director and login process so I don't think it's going to be of much use. login process's client_auth_parse_args() is what should see these two parameters correctly.

And if I add -D to the director service, I can see "Debug: request <hash> refreshed timeout to …",
but never I see "Debug: request <hash> added".  And from what I
understand this would be the place where the mail_host info comes into
the game. 

But probably I do not understand how director_request_continue() is
supposed to work.
