I wouldn't go so far as to call it insane, but it's a poor solution to
the problem of rogue DNS responders.  That said, there's a well-known
solution:  edit the following line in
$JRE_HOME/lib/security/java.security:

networkaddress.cache.ttl=-1

Set it to whatever timeout you like in milliseconds.  We run a
customized JDK configuration where we've used the following for ages:

networkaddress.cache.ttl=14400

Yes.

Not afaik.
