Huh, strange? I don't seem to have this problem with my 1.1b10 
(generic-pc with DHCP'ed but static IP through ADSL).

Would this be something only some users / configurations / images see?

I've tested this by pinging a few external hosts that I was sure I 
hadn't resolved earlier (so they wouldn't be cached locally or some 
such), but perhaps I need to do something other than that to see this 
"bug" in action? (Hadn't had any other kind of DNS related problems 
though.)

FYI: I use the DNS forwarder to resolve external hosts and for a 
number of overrides (local as well as external), and this all works, 
but I haven't enabled the "Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder" 
option (could this have anything to say?!?)
