Feature #46
DNS resolving for hosts in ike_cfg

Description
The ike_cfg constructor should take strings, not hosts, to allow resolving of host names when an IKE_SA gets initiated. Otherwise non-stroke backends are not allowed to use DNS hostnames.
To support configuration lookup as responder, we need a DNS cache to look up configurations without resolving the hostname each time.

- Status changed from New to Closed
- Affected version set to fixed
Implemented in r4044. Issues:
- We do no caching, so a responder configuration with DNS will cause a lot of DNS queries.
- starter still resolves addresses
