Description
Qt's DNS implementation should support DNS pinning.
With regular DNS, a malicious DNS server could circumvent the same-origin policy by changing the IP address associated with a particular name. DNS pinning means that the Qt's DNS implementation would stick with the same result for the DNS resolution that was used when the page was first loaded.
This issue was raised on the webkit-qt mailing list: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-qt/2010-July/000681.html
