getAllByName not working with ip addresses

i was trying to use getAllByName with an ip address but it is nor providing an arry if ip addresses
but it is working with names like "yahoo.com" easily and gives an arry of ip addresses as ouput

why ?

The javadocs of that method state that that's its behavior, so you shouldn't be surprised by it.
