Fix a taint issue using Net::DNS for AXFR with a hostname. Inexplicably,
looking up the IP ourselves and passing that (still tainted!) string in
as the connect host works just fine.

Probably needs further review with newer Net::DNS versions to make sure
this still works, or find a different workaround.
