It uses gethostbyname() from the system resolver. > I'm trying to find out why it's so damn slow... > DNS lookups on my system are snappy & fast (nslookup, host and good old > ping). yet mozilla sits there for 30 seconds or so pissing around doing > nothing except saying it's resolving the name... One possibility is if you've got two resolutions going on simultaneously in Mozilla, one could be stalling the other (see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70213). Probably more likely is that resolution has actually finished, but gecko itself has not updated the status bar; I believe there are known issues with that... perhaps someone in the know (Gagan?) could reference the relevant bugs.
