You could run tcpdump to view your outbound port 80 traffic. # tcpdump -vpn 'dst port 80' or if you're only interested in packets to 1.1.1.1: # tcpdump -vpn 'dst host 1.1.1.1' If you are more used to graphical application then you may prefer Wireshark. The interface may be more daunting than the fairly simple tcpdump though.. I have noticed that web browsers tend to cache DNS lookups quite aggressively so perhaps you just need to restart it, clear the cache, use a different browser, or a different browser profile etc. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
