I'm assuming so, even when the /etc/resolv.conf nameservers have been updated (confirmed with a "host host.domain.com ns.nameserver.com" or with nslookup) the kernel still seems to "remember" old answers until the expire or refresh time has been reached. Going to an independent system with the same /etc/resolv.conf file, never hitting "host.domain.com" comes back with the right answer. The system in question still remembers the old query answer until the refresh interval is reached. > > > Cycling named (DNS) on the box does not flush the cache. > > Are you running nscd? Just on a whim, since named (vixie bind), was running on the box thinking it was caching the queries, I shut it down completely.
