This has been a very troublesome mechanism so good to see this reduced 
down to a hosts file that we can we use for testing.

Shouldn't the reading of sun.net.spi.nameservice.provider.<N> be removed 
so that the throwing of ServiceConfigurationError can be removed too?

Also just on the property name, I would assume it should be something 
like "jdk.net.hosts.file" rather than "jdk.internal.hosts".

Do we have tests that are using the illegal_state_exception token? I 
didn't spot any in the webrev. Just wondering if this is the right 
exception for testing.
