User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030304 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030304 Mozilla seems to cache all DNS lookups. If I Request a Dynamic Host (Dialup connection with DHIS). Everything works fine until the IP Adress of the Server Changes. Mozilla doesn´t lookup the new Address an try to connect to the old IP. A nslookup on the same System already gives the new IP. Even forceing a Reload doesn´t flush the IP Cache. After closing an restarting Mozilla i can access the Dynamic Host again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.access a dynamic Host. 2.wait för the IP Adress to change. 3.Try to reload the Page or access any other page on the Host. Actual Results: Mozilla tries to connect to the Old IP of the server. Expected Results: Mozilla should validate IP Adresse after there TTL has expired.

VERIFIED/dupe: I think we will have some improved ways of doing caching, but at this point, an application level TTL-based DNS cache is unlikely.
