The browser doesn't do it's own DNS lookups. It passes the querie to the OSs network stack which firsts looks in the local hosts file before sending the querie to the DNS servers.
You want to run a test? Try this.
Do an nslookup of www.microsoft.com for exampl and get it's IP addresse (207.46.144.222 is what I just got). Go into your hosts file and put an enter-
207.46.144.222 www.apple.com
Then go to www.apple.com in the browser of your choice and see what comes up. Do yourself a favor and delete that line from hosts when you're convinced. - Posted by: PA-ITGuy Posted on: 04/12/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
