My guess is that the following happens:


	Client				Named

	create socket

	send request------------------->
					search through the
					entire world for 	
					answer, this takes
	send request------------------->quite some time,
					in fact very long
					time before we
					find the answer and
	receive answer<---------------- respond
	close socket
					handle next request
					(from cache)
	log_in_vain...<---------------- respond
