That link shows the problematic method. Basically if you don't use a domain 
name as your certname (we use GUIDs here) then it falls all the way through to 
trying to turn it into an IP address which obviously fails.

If someone can give me a bit more insight into what this method is supposed to 
be doing, then I'm happy to do the patches, but after reading the dev list 
archives for the associated patches for the auth system, I still don't quite 
get it.

Naively, I kind of feel like the logic is around the wrong way. It should 
determine if the value is a dynamic/back-reference pattern or an IP first, then 
I don't quite see how it matters what your certname is after that, whether it 
be a domain or something else.
