 Though we can add a hostname in the `Address` field in torrc, it finally
 resolves the name time to time and pushes the descriptor.
 However, that hurts the dynamic IP relays. If tor could work on pure
 hostnames (yes, that'd cause a resolving overhead on every connection)
 then a whole range of dynamic IP relays could come into the picture which
 might strengthen the Tor network.
