Description
As of https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/pull/770, we only send localhost addresses to local peers. This means these addresses _won't_ be advertised in the DHT. Usually, this is what you'd want and all local peers should be connected over MDNS anyways. However, @raulk wanted to take a bit of time to consider this.
This issue is here as a reminder to reconsider.
