Dear Google Web Team,

My company has a security stack between me and the internet, and one of the many things they filter and deny is HTTP GET requests to an IP address - only fully qualified DNS names.

One of the great features of the Google Search experience is the cached web page link that accompanies most of the results.

However, in my random query of 9 language interfaces (Germany, Korea, Japan, Jersey, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Trinidad, Samoa, and the UK), I can use the "cache" link because the link has a DNS name.

But the Google.com "main page" - searching in English - leads to cached links that are prefixed:

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache: <site name, query string and other stuff>
rather than
http://www.google.FQ.DN/search?q=cache:<site name, query string and other stuff>

This is inconsistent with the rest of your world-wide service, and specifically, it interupts my browsing because I have to cut and paste cache link URI's to use a different country's DNS name to view the cached page.

Any manpower resources you can expend to fix this one will be appreciated by all of us behind this filter.

Thanks, and Happy New Year,
Steve Carroll
