    Default IPAddress or HostName

    Can I use a Java API to verify whether a String is IPAddress or HostName.

    InetAddress.getByName(str) will return an Inet Address for both IPAddress and hostname.

    InetAddress.getByAddress(byte[]) requires the IPAddress in a Byte format. How to convert an IP String to this Byte Array ? A simple String.toByteArray() does not yield the correct result.

    Inet6Address has a function called textToNumericFormat(String) that returns a Byte Array but this method is hidden and API users cant use them.

    Please help !! Thanks in advance...
