[8u] RFR 8160768: Add capability to custom resolve host/domain names within the default JNDI LDAP provider

[Hohensee, Paul]

+1 on needing a CSR for the backport. I'd missed the CSR link because it was buried under "Show 5 more links".

I posted an RFO (Request for Opinion) on the same topic of approving strictly additive CSRs for backport.

Thanks,

    Right. I don't know about what happened there for Oracle JDK. You could
    try to ask.

    I believe we need one since this is changing the 8 SE API by adding:

    javax/naming/ldap/spi/LdapDnsProvider.java
    javax/naming/ldap/spi/LdapDnsProviderResult.java
