i am at starbucks on t-mobile hotpoint 802.11.  i start galeon.
all is cool.  dhcp gives me dns which is 1918 space.  i move to an
office with ether and get new addresses, dns, etc.  if i pick a new
site in galeon, it fails to look up dns.

i.e. galeon/moz has code to bind to the dns.  this has to be
*extra* code that is really not needed as the underlying dns
servers, whether on the client box or on the local net, will cache
for me.

it also seems to suck too much bookmark etc. data into ram and not
check if disk has changed.  for those roaming rsync fans, this can
hurt.  but, as these are the browser's own date structures, one can
not really complain.  the dns is exogenous.
