      In JDK1.4.1, HTTP fallback was made more configurable so that if the
      property sun.rmi.transport.proxy.eagerHttpFallback is set to "true" then
      HTTP fallback behavior will be triggered if any SocketException is thrown
      by an initial direct connection attempt.

      The current specification (section 3.5.2) should be loosened to specify that
      fallback behavior is allowed on exceptions other than the current (more strict)
      specification stating that fallback to HTTP is done only if the direct
      connection attempt throws a java.net.NoRouteToHostException or a
      java.net.UnknownHostException.
