Possible fix for the intermittent java applet security error in Firefox

We have made a site change to 'hopefully' correct this issue. Sun does not have a fix yet to the reverse dns java plugin security issue. In order to work around the problem and not have it interfere with people using Firefox, we have altered the browser testing console to use ip addresses instead of domain names when launching a particular configuration. The java applet security issue was related to a reverse dns issue... not a lot of reverse dns issues when you are not using dns. Hopefully, this will get rid of this intermittent (and quite painful) issue.
Thanks,
Ken
