+Translate names to IP addresses
+
+In addition to translating host names directly into IB addresses,
+provide the ability to translate the names into corresponding
+IP addresses.  While this allows ib_acm to act as a simple name
+service, it also allows the user to load the ib_acm database using
+host names, while storing the resulting data based on IP addresses.
+This can be useful for large clusters, where a large number of
+systems can easily be specified using syntax similar to
+node[1-1000], whereas an application may relay on a class B IP
+address.
+
+The ib_acme service is updated to allow the user to indicate that
+IP name service translation is requested.  In such cases, the user
+inputs a name or address, and a corresponding address is returned.
+
+ib_acm uses the source address type of a request to determine if
+translation should occur.  If the source type differs from the
+destination type, ib_acm will convert the destination address
+into one matching the source type and return it with the result.
