This is a good start. However, we'll still get messages from 
--ip-address processing lost.

What about adding a Handler class to buffer LogRecords?

Set it in the root logger as the very first action in those three 
tools (ipa-dns-install, ipa-replica-prepare, ipa-server-install) that accept 
--ip-address option.

When standard_logging_setup() is called, it would check for existing 
handlers and first pull in the records, then remove the handler, 
call basicSetup() and re-issue the LogRecords again?

This way we'll get all the records recovered and will get around 
IPACheckedAddress limitations.
