Hi Arthur,
Not directly related to Alex's original question but...

We have some ipv6 patches as well in this area as well (as well as other
patches to support ipv6 only environments) that we're trying to
upstream. I don't understand the code myself, but it might be useful to
take a look:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aeubanks/jdwpipv6/webrev.00/index.html
SocketTransportService.java:
On my machine at least, InetAddress.getByName("localhost") and
InetAddress.getLocalHost() are quite different:
InetAddress.getByName("localhost") will return the loopback (127.0.0.1)
InetAddress.getLocalHost() returns the local hostname (dhcp-XXX-XXX...)
If I'm not mistaken your changes in HostPort would transform something
that previously returned the loopback (no host specified) with something
that returns the local host name ("*" specified).
So I'm not sure these changes are quite right.
Maybe Alex will be able to confirm.
