I have a feeling this method doesn't have a use case in our codebase - is it possible to add a custom error prone check for it?

Apparently it is possible to read the cached hostname from InetAddress with new InetSocketAddress(channelAndMethod.getChannel().getConnection().getAddress(), 0).getHostString(). In this case it doesn't seem to change anything because the address really only has the ip. Added this note in case you find some other place where this could come handy.

All server instrumentations that implement peerName probably also cause a name lookup.
