I tend to assume that people have their network setup such that
resolution will work. Clearly this assumption is based. 

The behaviour for ipvsadm is consistent for all invocations - it
trys to resolve hosts and ports unless the '-n' command line option is
given. I would think that a good solution would be to a) advocate the
use of '-n' and b) mention that seting up resolution - through DNS,
/etc/hosts or whatever - is a good idea.
