More caching-nameserver observations -

[Bob Goodwin]

*I just tried copying addresses from pages already visited with Firefox, 
then doing "dig some url" and found that as far as the nameserver is 
concerned nothing appears to be saved when a URL is accessed with 
Firefox?  Once "dig" is done access is much faster, not what I expected?


dig http://www.washingtontimes.com/world/20060824-115149-7379r.htm

Produced the following:

;; Query time: 916 msec
;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)

Any thoughts on what is happening, what I've not done right?

I spent much of yesterday experimenting with "Berry Linux,"  a really 
impressive "live FC5" but could not get "caching-nameserver" working 
with it, on the 2.8 gHz Dell computer.  However the initial dns response 
times looked about the same as they do on this old 450 mHz PIII.
