You see, the reason I asked this is that there's really no such thing as
"disabling the DNS cache" within libcurl. You can set the timeout value to
different values, and by setting it to 0 it should effectively take away the
chances that an entry would be removed. But setting it to 2 or 20 or 200
doesn't change the logic, it is still the same code that avoids re-use and
pruning of old entries. Thus, if the logic works for 0 seconds, there's
nothing immediate that stands out and make other values not work.

Do you think you can help us and come up with a way for us to repeat this
problem?

Alternatively, if you have an easy way to do this in your own environment, I
suggest you debug the code in lib/hostip.c and try to figure out how this
problem can occur!
