I think we will need decide if InetAddress class description is the right place for this or whether some/most of it should move to InetAddressResolverProvider. It might be that we update the existing "Host Name Resolution" section with some basic/readable text to make the reader aware that there is a provider mechanism with a link to InetAddressResolverProvider with the details. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5822
