Well actually it's causing problems for all nodes, because they have to
talk to nodes with dynamic DNS hostnames. It's really quite beautiful,
in a way, that all sun JVMs prior to 1.4, BY DESIGN, cache all successful
DNS lookups forever... and even 1.4.1 seems to have a bug that causes
the exact same behaviour even when we follow the docs and turn it off.
We could of course recommend that all users use Kaffe, but the
self-appointed project manglement have decreed that we will not use
project funds to work on Kaffe, and there are major bugs in kaffe
causing my node to abort with assertions, segfaults etc in a matter of
minutes if I try to run it under Kaffe.
