Fixes #1245

WeaveDNS returns IP addresses in a random order to facilitate basic
load balancing and failure tolerance. Most client side resolvers sort
the returned addresses based on reachability, sorting local addresses
to the top of the list (see [RFC 3484](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3484.txt)).
