[JDK-8016521] IPV6 address selection

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

a while back I brought up the discussion that there is no
preferIPV6=system (or similar) setting which allows to turn off the
reordering of address families by Java. Because only the OS can try to
correctly do target address determinaton.

A Bug was opened and it was excluded from Java 8 - would there be a
window for Java 9, still?
