Whether to use the DNS if host is not an IP address. If false and host is not an IP, this routine will throw. Defaults to true.
If use_dns is true, the Duration to use as timeout for the DNS lookup.
A valid NetworkAddress matching host.
In case of lookup failure, if family doesn't match host, or if use_dns is false but host is not an IP. See the parameter description for more details.
Resolves the given host name/IP address string.
This routine converts a string to a NetworkAddress. If the string is an IP address, no network traffic will be generated and the routine will not block. If it is not, a DNS query will be issued, unless forbidden by the use_dns parameter, in which case the query is guaranteed not to block.
