Please explain in which specific case this is needed.

AFAICT wget fails immediately if it cannot resolve the host name it is 
looking for, so AFAICT you are talking about a setup here where an 
address does resolve, but cannot be accessed.
I don't know if we want to make any changes to defaults to allow for that 
sort of (broken) setup.
