> One of the main issue I try to solve is how the cache handle the intermittent 
> DNS server outages due to overloading or network connection.
> 
> At the moment this cache can be configured by the application using the 
> following two properties:
>    (1) "networkaddress.cache.ttl"(30 sec) - cache policy for successful 
> lookups
>    (2) "networkaddress.cache.negative.ttl"(10 sec) - cache policy for 
> negative lookups
> 
> The default timeout for positive responses is good enough to "have recent 
> dns-records" and to "minimize the number of requests to the DNS server".
> 
> But the cache for the negative responses is problematic. This is a problem I 
> would like to solve. Caching the negative response means that for **10** 
> seconds the application will not be able to connect to the server.
> 
> Possible solutions:
>   1. Decreasing timeout "for the negative responses": unfortunately more 
> requests to the server at the moment of "DNS-outage" cause even more issues, 
> since this is not the right moment to load the network/server more.
>   2. Increasing timeout "for the positive responses": this will decrease the 
> chance to get an error, but the cache will start to use stale data longer.
>   3. This proposal: it would be good to ignore the negative response and 
> continue to use the result of the last "successful lookup" until some 
> additional timeout.
> 
> The idea is to split the notion of the TTL and the timeout used for the 
> cache. When TTL for the record will expire we should request the new data 
> from the server. If this request goes fine we will update the record, if it 
> fails we will continue to use the cached date until the next sync.
> 
> For example, if the new property "networkaddress.cache.extended.ttl" is set 
> to 10 minutes, then we will cache a positive response for 10 minutes but will
