The hostname is recorded as "client-hostname" in the server leases db,
but that's literally lease->client_hostname, so the format string is no
longer attached.

Client is a problem.


I suppose we could make another transitionary format.  's'?  For printing,
it directly translates into a 't'.  For parsing, it tries 'X', which may
lead it back to 't', if I remember right.
