I connected my PC directly to the RoadRunner cable modem, bypassing our
LAN router.  Then "IPConfig all" showed actual IP addresses for
RoadRunner's DNSs.

According to TraceRoute, the RoadRunner DNSs are more than 16 hops from
my PC.  I also have a dial-up account at a regional ISP.  Using IPConfig
all again but through that other ISP, TraceRoute showed its DNSs are
only 6 hops from my PC.

All this might partially explain why my RoadRunner connection sometimes
seems very sluggish.  Although the RoadRunner connection is supposed to
be broadband, it sometimes is slower than dial-up.

This is no longer a SeaMonkey issue unless someone knows how to use
SeaMonkey to find what DNS was used.  In the meantime, this thread is
not on-topic.

Note that I have the ShowIP 0.8.19 extension from
<http://code.google.com/p/firefox-showip/>.  However, this only shows
the IP address of the target Web page, not the DNS used to get that IP
address.
