Every cache (httpd, Web cache servers, browsers) should remember that requests to the specified URL should be changed to the new URL. Undoing the permanent redirect requires waiting for all the caches to expire. This is similar to changing the IP address of a server -- most DNS servers cache the IP Address for some duration based on the configurations of the controlling DNS server and each DNS server. While DNS configuration includes the maximum cache duration (typically one day to one week), no such setting is available for "permanent" redirects. After undoing the permanent redirect: 1. Clear the caches under your control. Restart httpd, empty your browser's cache, and restart your browser.. 2. Test using a browser on the server (or at least use wget) to verify the change. 3. You may need to wait up to a full week for most Web caches to expire. Some (e.g. Google and other search engines) may update their caches at even slower frequencies.
