123163 - Mozilla won't resolve anything else after getting stuck resolving this domain

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 122675

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[rasta m0n]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020131
BuildID:    20010131

after going to www.davicom.com.tw and hitting stop (because
it can't resolve the host), going anywhere else fails

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.type http://www.davicom.com.tw in the urlbox + enter
2.wait a second or 2, hit stop
3.try to go anywhere else (ie www.google.com)

Actual Results:  gets hung trying to resolve www.google.com

Expected Results:  doesn't get hung in the resolver

The nameserver for www.davicom.com.tw seems to be down,
which is why it never resolves, but Mozilla should handle
this nicely instead of getting stuck.  I hope someone looks
into this before www.davicom.com.tw's nameserver goes back up :)

wfm using build 2002020103 on Win2k.
Resolving davicom.com.tw did not work, pressed stop, entered www.google.com, got
stuck 2 seconds, but it finally ended resolving www.google.com and worked.
I do not think this is mozilla's problem, as other browsers have the same
behaviour: IE6, Netscape 4.76 (stuck for 2 seconds, then load google successfully).

here (OS/2 build) it doesn't resolve anything else for a minute or 2, 
if it was only 2 seconds, then it would be no problem.

Bummer, site is back up.

Maybe there is some other site that takes a long time to resolve that would show 
the problem?
