Hello, when switching my laptop from LAN to a dialup connection, applications started _before_ the switch will still try to send DNS queries to my local DNS server. This isn't ideal, and the only workaround I've found so far is to restart the application. Is the resolver supposed to periodically check for updates to the resolv.conf, or are the applications somehow caching the IP of the DNS server?
