W2K Pro and Server have a DNS Client Service that caches responses.
If you're running DNS such as BIND, you really have to turn it off to prevent
it interfering with the DNS server for lookups on the local machine.

I have no idea whether or not any of the Win9x O/S's cache responses
but then I find Win9x scarier than the NT/2K O/S's since it has no security
at all.
