Patrick, thanks for the bug report. Agreed that this whole set of code
is entirely too inflexible for long term use.

In fact, we're planning to get rid of that type of interaction entirely,
in favor of having the hostname embedded in the relations all the
time. The IP works for single-zone/region/cloud setups, but eventually
we'll want to be able to relate things across clouds, so doing things
like this inside charms will make said charms impossible to use for
that purpose.
