Here you can see (while offline) how wget and konqueror do:

$ ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	ether 90:48:9a:92:9e:43

$ konqueror http://localhost/

The result in konqueror is visible here: http://www.unixarea.de/konqueror1.png
the reaction is in the same second (i.e. no DNS timeout).
