Strange DNS problems with Mozilla

Message

When I try to visit "www.milegend.com" or "www.scummbar.com" (for example), Mozilla displays "Resolving Host ..." in the status bar for a long time. If I don't wait for the timeout ("couldn't resolve..."), Mozilla suddenly fails to resolve any other domain name. It doesn't even help to close the window, the process stays alive and "blocks" DNS resolving in every other mozilla window.

Can anyone reproduce the problem?

If you are sure with the /etc/resolv.conf entry
How bout trying a Mozilla binary or recompiling, maybe something got messed up

Same problem here.
It just started doing that with no apparent reason.

Firefox binary dosn't make that mistake though.

When this happens are you able to resolve the host names from a command line? Based on the information posted I'd say that its too early to assume that this is specific to Mozilla.
