Fails if A-Record is not parseable as IP address

[schrer]

If a new domain is bought and not set up in GoDaddy it has an A-Record of value "Parked".
The tool fails to parse "Parked" as IP address, fails and exits with code 1

In the scenario of the completely new domain this can be easily circumvented by e.g. manually setting some IP address as initial value in the GoDaddy web interface, but an automatic handling would be nice.
Not sure though if there are cases where the API request for the A-record could return a non-IP value and it's not something that should just be overwritten?
Could the value "Parked" be overwritten without worry or is there any value in keeping it and the program failing?

Ah that's interesting, didn't know about that "Parked" response. I have tried registering a new subdomain (where no IP address is assigned yet), but I didn't get that "Parked" reply - I guess it's handled differently.

Have you, by any chance captured that response from GoDaddy? If not, I'll do some reading to figure it out.

I think that, we should handle the A record not being an IP address - and in that case, we should set the IP to the current, public IP address.
