+ServerInterpreted address definition for type "hostname":
+
+A ServerInterpreted address with type "hostname" shall have a value
+representing a hostname as defined in IETF RFC 2396. Due to Mobile IP
+and dynamic DNS, the name service should be consulted at connection
+authentication time. Clients supporting Internationalized Domain
+Names must convert to ASCII Compatible Encoding as specified in the
+relevant IETF RFC's before use in the X11 protocol. Note that this
+definition of hostname does not allow use of literal IP addresses.
