Judging by the auto-completion of previously visited URLs in mozilla, I'd
say yes. See the Mozilla Feelthy Perverts FAQ for ways to disable that.
Remember, Echelon and your God are always watching.

As well as the web browser, its possible you (or your ISP) are using a
proxy (squid?) which may keep logs. The OS itself does not log IP traffic by
host or domain.

See 'hostname' command.
On Mandrake startup, you can put it in /etc/sysconfig/network ,
or just /etc/hosts (or DNS?) if the port is up on boot.
