When browsing the Intel website I got some errors. A quick research showed:

1) The Intel DNS setup is a mess.[1]
2) polipo seems to send 2 DNS queries with the same id, when the 1st returns an 
error then 
the 2nd is not processed.

For 2) I did not dig deep into polipo's source, so I'm not sure if my 
observation is right. The 
queries on wire I see
09:07:25.875312 IP (..) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.62376 > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.53: [udp sum 
ok] 26981+ A? www.glb.intel.com. (35)
09:07:25.875602 IP (..) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.62376 > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.53: [udp sum 
ok] 26981+ AAAA? www.glb.intel.com. (35)
09:07:25.880105 IP (..), length 63) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.53 > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.62376: 
[udp sum ok] 26981 ServFail q: AAAA? www.glb.intel.com. 0/0/0 (35)
09:07:26.103253 IP (..) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.53 > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.62376: [udp sum 
ok] 26981 q: A? www.glb.intel.com. 1/2/0 www.glb.intel.com. A 198.175.96.33 ns: 
glb.intel.com. NS ns2.glb.intel.com., glb.intel.com. NS ns1.glb.intel.com. (87)

and polipo returns
HTTP/1.1 504 Host www.glb.intel.com lookup failed: Permanent name server failure


IMHO polipo should wait for second answer or use different ids for A and AAAA 
query, so it 
does not return an error if one of the queries fails.
