InternetAddress class
An internet address or a Unix domain address.
This object holds an internet address. If this internet address is the result of a DNS lookup, the address also holds the hostname used to make the lookup. An Internet address combined with a port number represents an endpoint to which a socket can connect or a listening socket can bind.

Static Methods
-
lookup(
String host, { InternetAddressType type: InternetAddressType.any }) → Future< List< InternetAddress> > -
Lookup a host, returning a Future of a list of
InternetAddresss. If
typeis InternetAddressType.any, it will lookup both IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6) addresses. Iftypeis either InternetAddressType.IPv4 or InternetAddressType.IPv6 it will only lookup addresses of the specified type. The order of the list can, and most likely will, change over time.
