Since DNS queries are UDP, it possible for them to get lost and never 
even been noticed.

I use a caching DNS server pair, one looks to google for it's external 
requests (going through Netvision) and the other uses OpenDNS (going 
through 012).

Usually either works fine, sometimes, especially with Facebook, it just 
"gets stuck". Clicking refresh brings the page up quickly.
