InetAddress delegates all lookup operations to the system-wide
 resolver.
  The system-wide resolver can be customized by
 
 deploying an implementation of InetAddressResolverProvider.

Method SummaryModifier and TypeMethodDescriptionlookupByAddress(byte[] addr) Lookup the host name corresponding to the raw IP address provided.lookupByName(String host, InetAddressResolver.LookupPolicy lookupPolicy) Given the name of a host, returns a stream of IP addresses of the requested address family associated with a provided hostname.
- 
Method Details- 
lookupByNameStream<InetAddress> lookupByName(String host, InetAddressResolver.LookupPolicy lookupPolicy) throws UnknownHostException Given the name of a host, returns a stream of IP addresses of the requested address family associated with a provided hostname.hostshould be a machine name, such as "www.example.com", not a textual representation of its IP address. No validation is performed on the givenhostname: if a textual representation is supplied, the name resolution is likely to fail andUnknownHostExceptionmay be thrown.The address family type and addresses order are specified by the LookupPolicyinstance. Lookup operation characteristics could be acquired withInetAddressResolver.LookupPolicy.characteristics(). IfInetAddressResolver.LookupPolicy.IPV4andInetAddressResolver.LookupPolicy.IPV6characteristics provided then this method returns addresses of both IPV4 and IPV6 families.- Parameters:
- host- the specified hostname
- lookupPolicy- the address lookup policy
- Returns:
- a stream of IP addresses for the requested host
- Throws:
- NullPointerException- if either parameter is- null
- UnknownHostException- if no IP address for the- hostcould be found

lookupByAddressLookup the host name corresponding to the raw IP address provided.addrargument is in network byte order: the highest order byte of the address is inaddr[0].IPv4 address byte array must be 4 bytes long and IPv6 byte array must be 16 bytes long. - Parameters:
- addr- byte array representing a raw IP address
- Returns:
- Stringrepresenting the host name mapping
- Throws:
- UnknownHostException- if no host name is found for the specified IP address
- IllegalArgumentException- if the length of the provided byte array doesn't correspond to a valid IP address length
- NullPointerException- if addr is- null
