34	DNS lookups take an extremely long time using R8169 driver	ataylor		"Using the R8169 multimac driver, DNS lookups on my desktop PC (Athlon X4) take an unusually long time - usually at least four seconds and sometimes considerably longer.  (Observed in SeaMonkey 2.x but presumably affects other applications as well.)

Comparing on the adjacent computer on the same switch, sharing the same connection, using a Broadcom chipset with both the B57 and GenMAC drivers, the exact same DNS lookups there take less than one second.

This has occurred with all versions of the driver, both in my previous residence (in Japan) and my current one (in Canada).  It also has occurred with two different r816x NICs (one onboard, one PCI) in this PC.

DNS entries do not seem to be cached for more than a few minutes, meaning that a new lookup is required almost every time the same site is accessed during a single session.  With the delay occurring on every lookup, this is a significant headache."	defect	closed	Feedback Pending	r8169	0.2.1	worksforme
