If the sites you are looking for are visited on a regular basis, add the entry into the hosts file. This is automatically loaded into cache on system start up and each time the Hosts file is updated.


For the record, the first timeout is set at 1 second, if no response is recd, then resolver queries preferred server and waits 2 seconds, no response, resolver then queries ALL Name Servers and waits another 2 seconds, still no response, queries all Name Servers and waits 4 seconds, still no response, queries all Name Servers and waits 8 seconds. No response, resolver responds with time out message, any queries destined for name servers will automatically generate time out for the next 30 seconds. The resolver also keeps track of which server responded to quickest and moves them up and down the list.

**TIP**
To prevent the resolver from accepting responses from non-queried servers
goto

HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Services\DnsCache\Parameters

add

QueryIPMatching (Reg_DWORD) with a value of 1
