Comment # 2 on bug 11470 from 
OK, I have just realized that "Use captured DNS packet data for address
resolution" is not the same as "Use name resolution information contained
within NRB's".  The former allows names to be learned dynamically through DNS
traffic alone.  Sorry for misinterpreting what that meant.

However, I believe the bug is still valid and in fact name resolution is now
even more ambiguous, isn't it?  We now have 4 different ways an IP address
could be resolved:

1) An external resolver
2) NRB information
3) DNS packet data
4) hosts file

Which one should take precedence?  How to disable using NRB data?  Should the
order of precedence be customizable?
