The implementation of this method blocks in native code so pins the 
carrier, it needs a re-write, too many other areas have been higher 
priority to date. A thread pool would help with a small number of 
virtual threads calling InetAddress::isReachable but isn't going to 
scale when the typical timeout specified to the method is in seconds.
