Using MDNS hostname in /etc/ethers does not work #23

Description

@aafloy

wakeonlan machine.local
machine.local is not a hardware address and I could not resolve it as to an IP address.

/etc/ethers contains
01:02:03:04:05:06 machine.local

The client appears to attempt to resolve the DNS name before checking /etc/ethers for a named entry.

If I start the machine and DNS is resolvable, the wakeonlan command works as expected.
