[JDK-8257080] Java does not try all DNS results when opening a socket

[Aleks Efimov]

Hi Benjamin,

As Alan stated I'm working on adding an SPI [1] which will provide a 
possibility to alter how host names and IP addresses are resolved by JDK 
platform.
I believe it would be possible to use this mechanism for addressing 
issue described in JDK-8257080.

Best Regards,
Aleksei
