During work on this JEP we've examined the approach suggested above, and there are few issues with it:
- `InetAddressResolverProvider.Configuration` interface API might evolve, e.g. there might be a need to pass additional configuration items.
- local hostname is a dynamic information, therefore it cannot be passed as string parameter to `InetAddressResolverProvider::get`.

It's been also discussed in the CSR comments [here](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274558)
