As Bob said, the socket constructor just does InetAddress.getAllByName on the destination name you provided. If the name provided is a valid ip string no dns lookup is performed and UnknownHostException shouldn't be possible.
Could you perhaps have badly formated the string (used a comma instead of a period) or used an out-of-range octet (>255)?
