I have nscd running. /etc/resolv.conf starts out with nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.1.254
The 192.168.1.254 is the router, which has been a fast and reliable resolver.
So, to test nscd caching behavior, I browse (using FF) over to any website. After some time, the address is resolved and the page comes up. I kill the tab of the page, and open a new tab and aim the browser at same url. Browser again says: looking up whatever....com and takes several seconds to resolve it.
I thought that nscd is supposed to cache the translation from the first lookup.
Am I to believe that the browser is NOT using /etc/resolv.conf? If not, what is it using? Or could it be that nscd is useless in this respect?
