--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have access to the JVM and if it's a Sun JVM, you can change the DNS 
provider directly. Check [1] on how to do that. I think the request still makes 
sense, but when changing the DNS provider directly, you don't have to touch the 
code (never done it though, and I think they changed the SPI interface for 1.6 
(very unfriendly, see bug at [2])).

By the way, there's a way on Sun VMs to set the TTL as a commandline option [3].

Hope that helps...

Cheers,
Daniel

>
> Currently Httpclient implicitly uses InetAddress.getByName() for DNS 
> resolution.
> This has some drawbacks. One is that the DNS cache of Java per default caches 
> entries forever.
> So I'd like to be able to replace InetAddress.getByName() with another DNS 
> client implementation.
