and is installed to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d.

The script is written in Python does the following:

1) it does some minor error checking on modem_path ( 'DEVICE_IPATH' )
and connection ( 'CONNECTION_ID' )

2) it makes a synchronous dbus call to get the properties of the
specified ofono context

3) is use socket.gethostbyname to resolve the MMS proxy

4) if uses subprocess.call to invoke the "ip route" command to configure

Title:
  handle ofono MMS host routes that are hostnames and not IP addresses

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ofono” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  NM should be able to handle (read: resolve) MMS proxy settings as
  strings for hostnames: if the value is a hostname rather than an IP
  address, we should try to resolve it to generate a proper host route
  to the MMS proxy.
