It should respect TTL=0. But DNS proxies who reply with their own address when they cannot reach the server, or when the DSL line is down, that's just evil! And with a mac, not needed. The message that Safari displays (and the nice button, Network Troubleshooting) is much better than that stupid page the ADSL router puts up. I wish we could disable that behavior. I haven't found the proper switch yet, but I haven't lost hope. Best regards, Yes, leopard is retarded. It should respect TTL=0.

Drop me an email (it's on the "about the author" page) and we'll discuss it and (if possible) summarize here any possible conclusions. I’m not sure about what you want to test on your scenario.

But still, I think there's something more to it. I've made an experience where I spent a whole day using a linux laptop in the same networking environment where I experience (several) disconnections with Leopard and I didn't had a single problem. Could you give me some pointers as to how I should go about testing/proving my theory? Great work Bruno.
