% 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.
Why shouldn't an address be in the DNS? And how can you tell
that an address, deprecated for your particular instance, has
not been re-issued and is valid for some other system?
