Sure - Just figured that since I was using the 'getaddrinfo' and
'getnameinfo' that I should incorporate the 'name' and 'info' into the
API name

I struggled with this too - trying to have less change, but I've
adjusted the calls in my branch to handle the error.

These aren't virSocketAddr's... It seems to me the virSocketAddr API's
are designed to manage a numeric representation of a name - which isn't
a given from the XML

I understand/agree - this is one of those bugs I say - well gee don't do
that if it hurts. But then again, by not checking that allows more than
one pool to look at the same target which could have some interesting
repercussions.

I don't think this sequence belongs in virsocketaddr as they don't
manage virSocketAddr's and because it's handling names and addresses as
strings.
I'll wait to repost with the hopes I'll get some feedback/thoughts or
complaints about what I've already written...
