Looks fine to me Rob, thanks.

After a brief discussion with Chris, we decided to revert the position
of the call to lookupIfLocalAddrs so as to give the local host primacy

Hi Bernd,
I should have said in the context of this bug. What I meant was
removing AI_CANONNAME doesn't resolve the issue as far as Mac is
concerned. I.e. I still see the UnknownHostException. In this
particular case the hostname is not set via the hosts file.
In the latest webrev the call to getifaddrs only occurs if getaddrinfo
fails.

W.r.t. the use of AI_CANONNAME, this doesn't actually make a
difference in the context of this fix, but is definitely something
that should be looked at. I'll put it on the todo list.
I think it does make a difference: If you remove the CANON flag
getaddrinfo() will not do DNS lookups when the host is configured to
prefer the hosts file (which it should do on Linux and OSX). And so
the platform specific lookupIfLocalhost() can be put after the
getaddrinfo() (again).
I actually think the bug "exists" on all platforms. If getaddrinfo()
fails because neighter hosts nor DNS file finds the name this can
happen on all platforms. I dont think it helps to add a fallback only
on MACOSX (and there is certainly no need to prefer the fallback then).
