Default Windows DNS cache

They are.
That's what DNS is for.

Simply doing
ipconfig /displaydns
will show that they are being cached.

If they were it would be redundant caching.


A web page can reference a domain like images.mywebsite.org many many
times. It's worth avoiding multiple DNS lookups.

It's not a matter of sparing 12 MB RAM. There's no need
for the functionality because I don't have local networking.


See above.
