Okay, I could reproduce half of the problem, but things evolved a few months after you filed your bug, according to upstream CVS. They changed their DNS service so that it would only cache DNS entries for 60 seconds (which you can change if you set the network.dnsCacheExpiration preference to another value) for 20 entries max (changeable with network.dnsCacheEntries). I think this is enough for this bug to be closed. If not, I could set these 2 preferences to 0 to disable DNS caching.
