[7u] problem with jdk test java/nio/channels/DatagramChannel/SendToUnresolved.java

[Francis ANDRE]

Hi Alan

Yes, This is the second time I saw an resolved address for an non resolvable 
host. There is only 2 PC connected locally that are going to internet thru the 
ISP Orange. So I am a little bit puzzled with those tests

Yes, all ping requests to a host name composed by at least 2 subnames separated 
by a '.' are localized to [66.152.109.63]. Only single host name, ie without 
subdomain, are not localized. Ok, I found the problem which is coming from my 
DynamicDSN provider. Removing it's own DSN addresses from the DSN list makes 
blah-blah.blah-blah.blah unresolved.

So I am sorry for the noise caused by those patches which are wrong for this 2 
tests: SendToUnresolved.java and OpenStream.java
