Marc Huffnagle commented on VALIDATOR-307:
------------------------------------------
Right now, isValid does not do DNS name resolution. The proposed solution
(using InetAddress.getByName()) will attempt to resolve a hostname that is
given to it. For example:
InetAddress.getByName("www.example.com")
will be returned as a valid IPv6 address, and will have done a lookup of that
hostname.
> isValid checks if the given address is only IPV4 address and not IPV6
