Is there a file of cached addresses that I can look at and see that

Not that I know of....
However, you can do a "host -v somehost.com" were somehost is equal to a
host name you've not visited. The first time you do it you may see
something like:
Received 194 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 1291 ms
But if you do it again, and it is working, you should see something on
the order of:
Received 194 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 1 ms

*Ok, I tried:

*host -v speakeasy.net *
*First time:
Received 109 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 745 ms
Second time:
Received 109 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 105 ms
That would seem to indicate that it works?
I'm not sure it's of much value considering the round trip time to the
satellite but I guess every little bit helps. I was timing the "Looking
up google.com" or whatever at the bottom of the Thunderbird screen and
timing that. It looked faster after the initial trial ...
Thank you.
