Most Linux distributions, unlike OpenSuSE, OS X and Windows, do not have a DNS Cache service installed by default.
Your computer will need to lookup a website’s IP address every time you visit it. The lookup request is passed on to the DNS server(s) specified in the /etc/resolv.conf file. It will take the server a few ms (milliseconds) at best to respond. It can take a ‘long’ time if your using a slow Internet connection (or a wireless LAN).
