    I think this is a valid concern. On top of this, I think we should make sure user can resort to old behavior if needed. With this patch the `isReachable` will be called in any case, regardless of the property 'zookeeper.ipReachableTimeout' is defined or not. How about something like this:
    
    if (zookeeper.ipReachableTimeout is not defined) {
     address = InetAddress.getByName(this.hostname);
    } else {
    address = getReachableAddress(this.hostname, ipReachableTimeout);
    }
