Review: Needs Fixing

> if a host-name cannot be found, this will cause the IOC to start up with all access disabled. Is this the behavior that we actually want?

That's a fair point.  As I think about it, there is no reason to fail the whole load if one host doesn't lookup.  It would be easy enough to fill in "unresolved" instead of an IP, print a warning, and continue.

(personally, I'd like to eliminate read access restrictions all together)

To some extent, this could be mitigated by including both hostname and IP for some important hosts.  eg, hosts which can trigger ACF reload.

Ultimately though, turning this feature on implies an acceptance of this risk.
