I'm using Apache as reverse proxy to redirect request inside a LAN. I'm trying to dynamically change the address to which forward request through Apache. In my configuration file I use something like: <location /dynlocation/> ProxyPass http://dynlocation/ ProxyPassReverse / </location> The DNS lookup is resolved reading the hosts file (it's a window system). 10.0.0.1 dynlocation I thought that chancing the hosts file at runtime would have made the trick, i.e. writing: 10.0.0.2 dynlocation but it seems that Apache is caching the IP and keeps on sending requests to 10.0.0.1 I cannot restart Apache every time I need a different IP. Does anybody know how to clean that DNS cache or has a different idea to solve this problem?
