I agree, and it should have both variants, getByAddtess(String literalSddress) throes UHE
GetByAdress(String hostname, String, literalSdddress) throws UHE

In order to produce resolved addresses as well. 

(The UHE is a bit strange but the preexisting method used it for a reason for invalid address arrays, I guess)
