Many people are new to Java, but why do you think you're too new?

import java.net.InetAddress;

...

InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName(FQDN);

That's a bit of overkill, just to resolve a hostname.

What's wrong with InetAddress.getByName() ?

Not a lot - I've always needed more than simply translating FQDN<=>IP,
etc. such as a list of domain MX addresses and consequently go for
dnsjava by reflex.

Given that OP claims to be new to Java, then the simple
solution sounds as a better fit.

I don't know what an FQDN is, but you can convert domain names to IPs.

And you have not heard about Google or Wikipedia??
