RFR: JDK-8134577 - Eliminate or standardize a replacement for sun.net.spi.nameservice.NameServiceDescriptor

[Mark Sheppard]

Hi Max,
    thanks for the reply.

I'll change the hosts file names used  to correspond with an associated test

dynamic update of host / ip mappings updates are accommodated as seen 
per the tests

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~msheppar/8134577/webrev/test/sun/net/InetAddress/nameservice/simple/CacheTest.java.sdiff.html


yes, that's correct the structure of hosts file does not align with 
/etc/hosts (ip address list of aliases), it aligns with the
various customized NameService implementations in the test framework.

I'll look into the UnknownHostException suggestion

regards
Mark
