Research direction

Start at DefaultApplicationFactory.getLocalHost() and review how the current InetAddress lookup is performed. Check how spring-cloud InetUtils can be integrated to honor the spring.cloud.inetutils configurations while retaining the existing fallback and UnknownHostException handling. Done means preferred network interfaces are selected through InetUtils when available.
