dovecot - Dec 2010 - doveadm "-S <socket_path>" option enabled in 2.0.8?

I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just compiled 2.0.8 and am trying
to use doveadm to get the quota for a user using the -S <socket_path>
option because I have different options for the various local IPs that dovecot
listens on.

For example, my default quota is filesystem (NFS rquota) and I can get that by
doing:

doveadm quota get -u warden

which tells me:

Quota name                                      Type      Value   Limit  %
User quota                                      STORAGE 1313476 1766400 74

But when I try to get my quota on a different local IP using the -S flag to
doveadm:

doveadm quota get -u warden -S 137.238.2.244:143

I am told:

get: invalid option -- S

The strange thing is doveadm's usage says that the -S option is valid for
quite a few commands and in the man pages for those commands it looks like they
should work for the way I'm calling doveadm. In the 2.0.8 source I also see
code that looks like it should be parsing the -S flag.

I can telnet to 127.0.0.1:143 and do ". getquotaroot inbox" which
gives me the same information as "doveadm quota get -u warden" and I
can telnet to 137.238.2.244:143 and ". getquotaroot inbox" also tells
me my quota, but I'm hoping to use doveadm to periodically recalc my
Maildir++ quota and update the squat FTS indexes and for that to happen doveadm
needs to be able to be told what local IP address/port to connect to (I think).

Ah, in that case it looks like the docs need to be updated because the man pages
and the wiki contain documentation that indicates TCP sockets should work: (from
man doveadm-quota)

       -S socket_path
              The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local
UNIX domain socket, or a  hostname
              and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a
TCP socket.

              This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
through the given socket.

The purpose of -S is completely different. It's about connecting to
another doveadm instance. There's currently no way to set IP for doveadm
queries.

Just to bump an old thread.  Timo, I think this would be a great feature
to add.  It would allow people to pull stats (and system health)
directly out of dovecot rather than having to run agents on the dovecot
servers to get the info into some other transport like SNMP.
