Thank you, Mark, for highlighting the naming contradiction in the `InetAddressResolver` interface method names. It can be solved by making these names symmetrical to `InetAddress` API. In 302264810725f86a4569161754f7b052c78fd826 `InetAddressResolver` method names have been updated to stress input parameters type, which brings them in sync with `InetAddress` API: - `InetAddressResolver.lookupAddresses` is renamed to `InetAddressResolver.lookupByName` - `InetAddressResolver.lookupHostName` is renamed to `InetAddressResolver.lookupByAddress` ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5822
