title: JVM dns cache disabling works only from property file
body: <p>Platform: Windows XP/Sun Java 6</p>
  
  <p>It works when I disable DNS caching in the java.security file:
  networkaddress.cache.ttl = 0</p>
  
  <p>But when I tried to pass this param from an applet, it doesn't seem to work:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;applet id="MiaApplet"
      .....
  
       &lt;property name="networkaddress.cache.ttl" value="0"/&gt;
  
   &lt;/applet&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Same issue when I use setProperty programmatically. I did read about bugs in the JVM implementation.</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers on how to make this work using System property passing approach to an applet as above or programmatic way?  File way is a hassle.</p>
