Interesting thing with DNS requests

Hi !

I noticed a strange thing today, I think there is something wrong with the DNS 
requester in KIO, I may very well be wrong so please bear with me.

I timed a page in konqueror-3.5.5 vs in Firefox-2.0. The page is:
	http://tv4.se/vader/prognos/ort/107080.html

In konqueror it took about 25 sek to reload (page refresh button), on FF it 
took about 5 sek in the exact same environment, AMD 64 Kubuntu Edgy.

I thought there must be something quite wrong somewere, so I started to watch 
the IO traffic through eth0 using wireshark. And the result was very 
different on the DNS requests, the HTTP was about the same.

konqueror:	656 DNS packets 		479 HTTP packets
Firefox:		42 DNS packets		442 HTTP packets

I dont know if I have set up something in a wrong way (upgraded from Dapper) 
or if I dont understand the info I retrived.

Oh and I have keep cache in sync setting in both browsers

The wireshark captures are here: http://mumme.se/wireshark_capture.tar.gz

Can anybody else confirm/not confirm the above? I don't want to  post a bug 
ticket if the error is my side.
I guess it only shows up here on my machine, otherwise somebody would have 
found it already :-)

Regards
Fredrik Johansson
