Hang on - isn't that the whole point of DNS caching? If people didn't 
care about network traffic, no one would cache anything, they'd just 
resolve the addresses every time. Apart from increased network traffic, 
resolving every time would be much better, as there'd be no stale data.

So, pretty much every caching DNS server is there to reduce network 
traffic. Isn't it?
