Woozle: /* Firefox DNS cache? */ related info link

	===Firefox DNS cache?===		===Firefox DNS cache?===
	I'm running into a situation where some Firefox is completely unable to load web pages on certain domains which Firefox recently loaded when the network was having issues. In general, it displays a page with the message "DNS error: <u>URL</u>". All other methods of resolving domain names (nslookup, net lookup, ping, etc.) work correctly for the domains in question. One of the domains in question started working after awhile, with no change being made that I am aware of... leading to the question: does Firefox have some sort of internal DNS cache? Going on this theory I've cleared out every cache I could find in Firefox, and even closed/reopened it, but this had no apparent effect. '''Update''': Actually, it can't be Firefox-specific, because [[Konqueror]] is having the same problem. So I'll keep this posted here for now, until more info comes along that suggests a better place to put it. --[[User:Woozle\|Woozle]] 10:45, 21 December 2006 (EST)		I'm running into a situation where some Firefox is completely unable to load web pages on certain domains which Firefox recently loaded when the network was having issues.
