> public static String normalizeHostName(String name) {
> if (Character.digit(name.charAt(0), 16) != -1) {
> return name;
> This code is attempting to short-circuit the hostname->ip resolution on the
> assumption that if name starts with a digit, it's already an ip address.
> This is of questionable value, but because it checks for a hex digit, it will
> fail on names starting with [a-f]. Such names will not be converted to an ip
> address, but be returned unchanged.
