I wouldn't be surprised to see this test randomly fail with
`RuntimeException(remoteAddr + " is reachable")` on some configurations as it
depends on how "`localhost"` gets resolved on the local machine (even if that's
another issue). AFAICS it's trying to test that remote addresses are not
reachable from the loopback. But `InetAddress.getByName("localhost")` may not
always return the loopback. Using `InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress()` would be
more robust. And maybe we could use `getByAddress()` instead of `getByName()`
for the remote address, which would avoid the UnknownHostException?
