Excuse me. Are you trying to tell me that if I am sitting on my machine,
and enter vidiot.com in the URL address line that Linux will send packets
out to the ISP's router and that router will send them back to me? Besides,
DNS is just a lookup tool to convert names to IP numbers. It doesn't do
traffic routing. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that the packets ever
leave my box. They specifically won't leave my box when I use localhost
instead of vidiot.com (which is what I pretty much always do).

I'll concede this point, but will need proof that HTTP requests to my box,
from my box, ever leaves my box.
