I disagree. The deprecated address shouldn't be in DNS, so the application
that is trying to connect to your deprecated address probably is *not*
stepping through getaddrinfo results. Instead it is probably some kind of
distributed application, and it got your address a day ago (from getpeername
or getaddrinfo) and saved it in various data structures. Now it is trying to
connect to you again.
