2423054 - Message Server ACL file: ERROR => HOST invalid argument

Symptom

An extra security layer is being implemented by explicitly informing the client hosts which are allowed to logon to the message server.
The required configuration is performed according to SAP Help Portal - Security Settings for the SAP Message Server
At the end, the configuration seems not to work as expected and previously allowed hosts are being denied from access.

In the message server trace file (dev_ms), the following entries can be seen:

[Thr <nr] load acl file = /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/ms_acl_info
[Thr <nr] *** ERROR => HOST invalid argument (<nr>.<nr>.<nr>.*) in line 10 [msxxacl.c 774]       
[Thr <nr] *** WARNING => Errors found in /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/ms_acl_info
[Thr <nr] *** WARNING => Please correct the invalid entry

Or

Thr  <nr> load acl file = D:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\ms_acl_info.DAT
[Thr <nr] ***LOG Q0I=> NiPGetHostByName: '<hostname>' not found: getaddrinfo [D:/depot/bas/742_REL/src/base/ni/ninti.c 896]
[Thr <nr] NiHLGetNodeAddr: hostname '<hostname>' not found by operating system
