Was posting my other message around the time you replied, I guess. According to Manual, if you turn off recursive lookups on MS DNS server it still caches search results but isn't supposed to use them (I guess 'disable cache' didn't sound technical enough for MS). It also said that setting a forwarder for the DNS server offloads ALL zone requests for which the server is not the authority. The server is not forward only though, since it must still resolve the local domain. The Search from Address Bar is a likely candidate, though how the URL winds up in the DNS server cache would still be a mystery. I also found that many people recommend disabling DNS client caching on the PC, though it is on by default. Thanx again, Dave.
