"Out of Emacs" can mean different things :)
E.g. if nscd is active, that's a caching layer somewhere at libc level (so
Emacs won't be aware of it, but the request won't hit the net, so tcpdump
won't see it). Also, for the young-uns, systemd is said to do DNS caching
itself too (what doesn't it do?), but I can't test that due to lack of
systemd ;-) That one, possibly, is also in limbo between Emacs and what
tcpdump can see (but also possibly, not).
