I happened to run across the caching code in java.net.InetAddress
today.  We had a couple discussions about this already in the past,
e.g. one is here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2000-04/msg00106.html

I still think this code is incorrect, as it doesn't respect TTL
properly.  I would like to remove it, which is what this patch does.

Comments?


I agree. The standard C library takes care of DNS caching (via nscd) on most systems, so this extra cache would have no added benefit.
