Yeah, this would fix the stricter checking. I planed to improve A/AAAA
validation in a scope of this ticket, I plan to use CheckedIPAddress to
be more consistent with the rest of the plugin. I made the change you
just did in CheckedIPAddress already.

My point is that we may want to be even stricter and forbid for example
broadcast or multicast addresses to be placed to A/AAAA records.
