#34 using a non-FQDN with -s can cause replication to fail

[Scott Venier]

If a short hostname (pub as opposed to the FQDN
pub.vestasys.org) is specified with the -s flag on a
replication command line, the replication will fail,
even though the domain is in the DNS search path. Example:
Let's say my computer has vestasys.org in the DNS
search path. And the following #replicate-from
attribute on /vesta: pub.vestasys.org:21776. This
vrepl commandline will fail with a no permission error:
vrepl -s pub -e+ /vesta/vestasys.org/vesta, but this
one will succed: vrepl -s pub.vestasys.org -e+
/vesta/vestasys.org/vesta.

The solution to this is to make the replicator turn all
hostnames into FQDNs before making any calls to the
repositories.

This could also be done in the repository using something
like IP address or some other notion of repository ID (i. e.
secure authentication)
