Resolving domain names in KDE apps

[Timms, Simon]

I would bet that this is another issue related to IPv6.  Take a look at a
thread on this list titled "Mozilla and long time in resolving Hostnames",
especially a message from Dr Matthew J Seaman.

Good luck.

Hello Robert

I  have been using FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE and Konqueror without any noticeable 
problems with speed or name resolution.   The problem I have are related to 
browser issue: not haveing support for shockwave, scripting problems, and 
poorly develop sites that do not work well with the KHTML and Mozilla 
engines. The site you referenced does load slowly for me, but I think is do 
to the site and it is defiantly not a result of the operating system or KDE.

The webpage  does load some files form ad.ca.doubleclick.net see code below.
