At least some versions of the standard C library will cache the last DNS 
looked up, and reuse that value if the process asks about the same host again. 
  That turns out to be almost free to do, and is still reasonably helpful for 
many cases.

However, FreeBSD does not have a global cache the way Windows does, or things 
like nscd (Solaris) or lookupd (MacOS X)...
