and DNS always breaks and is way to complicated and it's done by another
team and we don't talk to them and creating tickets takes way to much
time. ;-)

I'm not a software developer but here are some things I noticed besides
hard coded IPs:

- wrong/old library functions which only supports IPv4
- regex or any other thing to detect a valid IP address (e.g. a valid IP
  address has only numbers and)
- fields in database that are to small
- lack of a proper test environment / proper tests
