Usually the browser will cache the result itself for a lot more than that ( minutes ) so that is probably why the majority of their customers are not seeing the problem. Using a normal caching server like bind won't fix the full problem though since it'll just keep the 20 second TTL. You could ask them to increase this a little or perhaps check your browser settings to see if the internal DNS cache isn't working correctly.

I use this on all my linux machines per default and have the cache specified for 2 days which works perfectly fine and remains upon reboot. Have you tried using BIND9 as a caching DNS server?

But hey, if you read this, SICKB0Y, - pleeeeeeease try and do something about the battery life! I usually end up using freakin' XP on my AAO because the battery life in linux - even with your kernel - is about 70% of what I get on XP. XP gives me between 3 and 3.5 hours depending on my wireless usage. Any GNU/Linux distro gives me about 2 to 2.5, even after a lot of optimization using powerTOP and editing my local.rc to shift my governor down more aggressively, reducing writes to my hard drive, putting all my temps in memory...i can't get the battery life to improve much. Anyway, thanks for all your hard work! I love Kuki. SICKB0Y’s kernel really does improve your mileage with the AAO.

No. Did some Googling on the vendor ID and it turns out that these don't use the pl2303 and the correct driver is ch341 (my Google search found a patch and comment about this in the pl2303 driver for SuSE). So back to make "menu_config", built the ch341 driver, modprobed that and it works fine.
