Brian Baynes reopened GEODE-2804:
---------------------------------

Need to revert this fix for GEODE-2804, as there are a number of issues as a result (related to IPv6, hostname).

> It is not unlikely that in a long-running system a machine hosting a locator will break down and need to be replace, or that a virtual machine hosting a locator will be stopped and restarted.  In either case the machine may have a different IP address.
> Clients and servers currently cache the IP address of a locator and should be changed to re-resolve the host name if the address stops being usable.
> Servers currently cannot be started if they are given a host name that can not be resolved.  They should be changed to allow this and start up if they are able to contact one or more of the other locators in their "locators" setting.
