I hit this when trying to use a web-service from a new ASP.NET MVC project. The
calls to the webservice were throwing WebExceptions about NameResolutionFailed.

Digging further, just trying to do System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry fails from
inside the web app. I will attach the simplest demo MVC app that produces the
error. If you would like a more barebones test case, I will try to produce one.

The exception is:

System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type
initializer for System.Net.Sockets.Socket ---> System.InvalidCastException:
Cannot cast from source type to destination type.

If I try to load the configuration section trying to be loaded on
Socket.cs:1342, it seems to load a SettingsSection just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Host soemthing in xsp2
2. Try to resolve a valid hostname (e.g via Dns.GetHostEntry)
Actual Results:  
Exception!

Expected Results:  
Hostname resolves.
