Sounds like a generalization of what "resolv.c" does - have either

	1) a single table of addresses, tagged with the address type

or

	2) separate tables for different address types (as we have now)

and export the ability to add entries to that table (which is currently
done only internally, when a lookup is done and no entry in the table is
found).
