> If a host has a misconfigured hostname Utility::hostInetAddr() fails with an UnknownHostException.
> An extra try could be made after logging a warning about the failed InetAddress.getLocalHost() using InetAddress.getByName(null) - e.g.
>  try {
>     addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
>  } catch (UnknownHostException uhe) {
>     log.warn("Unable to use InetAddress.getLocalHost() to resolve address");
>     addr = InetAddress.getByName(null);
>  }
