What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Attempt to connect to a hub with a .local hostname
2. UI recieves status message 'Failed to lookup "whatever.local": request
   timed out'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.10 PPC

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems io_lookup in io.c will correctly resolve .local addresses, but it
seems this is not used, in favour of evdns_resolve_ipv4 which does not
correctly resolve these .local addresses.
