am I missing something?


I'll provide more details. You tell me.

Prior to a socket connection being permitted, a set of rules is
analyzed. A matching rule can specify what will happen to that
connection. One criterion upon which a rule can match is that of a
host name. Thus the need to have access to the address(es) associated
with a given host name (and expeditiously, if possible).
