There are bug reports about this kind of stuff...

Are you sure a global cache is needed to help things? A per-slave cache
may be able to get much of the benefits, considering KIO tries to limit
the number of I/O slaves per process, even if it's something trivial like
a TTL of 30 seconds or such.
I am also very, very, concerned that some people suffer so badly due to
IPv6 support, which at the moment is basically just a geek feature, and
seems poorly supported by tons of DNS servers.
