The getaddrinfo(3) and gethostbyname(3) are used to return the address for a
given hostname. The getnameinfo(3) and gethostbyaddr(3) are used to return
hostname for a given address. Right now in casper, we have two limitations:
- NAME which allows resolving DNS names.
- ADDR which allows to do revert DNS lookups.
Before this change the rights was mixed up:
NAME - getnameinfo(3) and gethostbyname(3)
ADDR - gethostbyaddr(3) and getaddrinfo(3)
Which no matters on limitation allowed us to resolve DNS names and do DNS
lookups basically by using a different set of functions.
Now the NAME type allows getaddrinfo(3) and gethostbyname (3)functions,
and the ADDR names allow to use gethostbyaddr(3) and getnameinfo(3) functions.
