try it out in your local network

* enter a non existing subdomain in firefox
* add the hostname to your LAN nameserver
* try again: firefox refuses
* restart just firefox
* it resolves without any delay

a) that proves no systemwide cachae
b) it proves with introduce a local systemdwide cache
     you introduce a problem not existing before


If you have nscd running glibc caches, so it is a matter of
configuration.

completly different topic

if i install a local resolver and start it it caches - so what - the same for nscd which is not default, so you can't blame glibc because caching of an additional package

The *only* reason why Firefox caches Names is because we do not have a
local dns caching resolver, so Firefox had to implement its own.

If you had a local caching resolver Firefox could be changed to stop
caching on its own instead

tell me one reason why *any* application has to cache DNS results at it's own - it don't matter at all if the machine has a local resolver/cache or not, it's not the business of any user application

and just because you have a local resolver firefox won't stop it's behavior
