Why to resolve hostname for Incoming T3 Connection

[Vijay]

Hello:
Can anyone please tell me as why the WebLogic managed server needs to call java.net.InetAddress.getByName
for an incoming T3 connection from a remote WebLogic EJB client.

This requires that the server that the WebLogic managed server is running be able
to resolve a hostname. This seems unnecessary, since the managed server is acting
as a TCP server in this scenario, and it requires additional network configuration
to be able to resolve hostnames from incoming clients.

To construct a T3Client hostname is required.
