Two similar requests

Allen Biocca (ALS) requested that the access security rules should accept a host

name OR inet address. This sounds like a valid request.

Thus instead of

HAG(hag1) {mercury}

The user could specify

HAG(hag1) {164.54.8.12}

The other request is let a PCAS application know the inet address of a client.

Andrew thinks that this is what caSnooper needs. Ken can correct me if this is

wrong.

Thus both requests amount to finding the inet addresss of a client.

For access security it means RSRV must make it available. Currently RSRV calls

asAddClient(asClientPvt,asMemberPvt,asl,user,host)

This could be changed to

asAddClient(asClientPvt,asMemberPvt,asl,user,host,inetAddr)

What do you think?
