I am using a XP pro machine and i have the google search bar installed on my IE. When i go to my domain, www.whatever.com, then look in my temporary dns entries, i see all the name servers for google. I host my own name servers and i do do a ipconfig /flushdns before i try it and everytime, i come up with the same thing. Anyone seen this before? Here is a listing that comes up in it:

It looks to me like the Google Toolbar is "SpyWare" All DNS queries are being forwarded to ns1.google.com

After playing with the google bar for a while, the problem seemed to resolve with the "PageRank". If that is enabled, basically google has a ranking system where collects information on where you going to "rank it" for future patrons of that page. I might have read it wrong but here is the link which explains it better. Here is an exerpt from it:
PageRank Explained

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."

Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query.
