And what domain would that be? It wouldn't happen to be:
- Amazon.com (covers)
or
- one of the lyrics websites (lyrics plugin)
or
- audioscrobbler.com (for the last.fm functionality)

We're working upstream on making all those disabled if NetworkManager
doesn't see a network connection. See:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322266

In the meanwhile, those lookups would be normal.
