Non-local IPv4 communication disabled in 2.14.3

Hi,

Code was introduced into 2.14.3 that checked for host and local_host
having the same inet_addr. This effectively disabled all non-local
communications.

This patch fixes the problem. I'll commit shortly unless someone
objects.

Best regards,
  jules
