What should be the outcome if all hosts turn out nonexistent? Decline, pass,
fail, freeze, or dependent on some other option?

When I think about it, it should probably behave as if all hosts were in
ignore_target_hosts, i.e. decline.

The same as if the host list was empty is my first thought.

I have committed a patch. The host_find_failed option in the manualroute router
can now be set to "ignore", to completely ignore a host whose IP address cannot
be found. If all hosts are ignored, the behaviour is controlled by the new
host_all_ignored option.
