@violetagg can you provide a PR ? @normanmaurer I was thinking for allowing blocking calls when loading `etcResolverFiles`, is that what you are thinking also? This sounds good 
you need to also shutdown the executor  oops ... done
Blocking call in UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider.parse
### Expected behavior

No blocking calls reported by BlockHound

### Actual behavior

The exception below appears when BlockHound is installed

```
