In the migration context, host/port are all necessary, so it's right to parse
"8272" to a port.
However, for IPv6 brackets must be mandatory if you require a port.
BTW, the DNS delay issue existed in the past (gethostbyname()), it should be
fixed by another patchset.
I will post my V2 (without fix of DNS delay) later.
