That's if you're using a replacement resolver.  The problem is that as
I originally read it, it was a *web browser plugin* - as such, if it's
interfering in other lookups (like FTP or an SMTP process) it's overstepping
its bounds.

Some of us run operating systems where the distinction is still made
between the OS kernel, the system libraries, and the application's
libraries and plugins...
