no. >Has anyone experienced anything similar which may point to where to start >troubleshooting? DNS is queried any time the browser needs to resolve a hostname in the html text. Pointing the browser to the ip.ad.re.ss:80 for the default web page eliminates exactly one of the DNS queries. :)) DNS is not "causing" your problems, it's just a passive database. I assume you don't have the superior dig, so use nslookup to query for the hostname in the initial URL to see whether it's the same as the entered ip. You should also look at the html that can't be resolved and nslookup those hostnames.
