New issue 165 by : .meta file: Incorrect values for  
client IP and server IP
https://code.google.com/p/ndt/issues/detail?id=165

Looking at the NDT raw data in M-Lab BigStore, we're seeing incorrect  
values in the "server IP address" and "client IP address" fields of  
the .meta file. It seems that NDT produces two different types of meta  
files depending on whether it can determine the client hostname.

When a client hostname is available, the relevant fields appear as follows:

server IP address: 162.219.49.24
server hostname: mlab2.yul01.measurement-lab.org
server kernel version: 2.6.32-131.vs230.web10027.xidmas
client IP address: modemcable252.207-179-173.mc.videotron.ca << invalid IP  
address
client hostname: modemcable252.207-179-173.mc.videotron.ca

When a client hostname is not available, the relevant fields appear as  
follows:

server IP address: << server IP address missing
server hostname: mlab1.lga01.measurement-lab.org
server kernel version: 2.6.32-131.vs230.web10027.xidmask.2.mlab
client IP address: 64.9.225.99
client hostname: No FQDN name

It seems that this is related to the code in web100srv.c as it appears to  
be incorrectly treating the rmt_host variable as an IP address when it  
contains the hostname string.

This occurs with NDT server v3.6.5.2.
