fixing incorrect 4.4.4.4 DNS reference(s) in examples #41803

Description of the problem

fixing incorrect 4.4.4.4 DNS reference(s) in various examples,
to (what I assume) should be 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4/dns.google (Google DNS 1 2 3).

note

not sure what the source of this mistake is
(I think it was an old Verizon name server),
but I see this a lot and not just in n00b codes,
but in big a$$ companies as well..

in most cases running the code in the example will just render a timeout (and a puzzled developer),
in other cases (silent fallback..) it may go through the os default name resolving chain which will render some unexpected results and be somewhat challenging to debug.. :|


edit:

IP address ranges that are designated for use in documentation 1
I would prefer a working example.
