UpstreamConsistentHash, is it wrong?

[Markus Jelsma]

For your information:

I've sent Mauro the information a couple of days ago; it contained some 
sensitive information that's not suitable for the web.

Anyway, Mauro found the issue and can perhaps fix it some day, here is a 
snippet from his reply mentioning the issue and a temporary work-around.

In other words, for now we must use only IP addresses in Python/PHP scripts as 
well as in the upstream configuration block. The work-around has been 
confirmed to work as Mauro says.
