7800 - DNS Cache
Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2015 12:24 pm
Hi. Does the 7800 cache DNS entries if you set "Use Router as DNS Server", and if so, how do you flush the cache? I've had a number of situations where I've changed the DNS server for a domain and yet performing lookup against the router does not reflect the change.
For example, I currently have the router configured as a DNS server using a Google DNS as the primary and then one of my ISP's DNS as the secondary, these are the results I get:
Google:
nslookup {domain} 8.8.8.8
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: {domain}
Address: 31.216.52.130
ISP:
nslookup {domain} 90.207.238.99
Server: 90.207.238.99
Address: 90.207.238.99#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: {domain}
Address: 31.216.52.130
Router:
nslookup {domain} 192.168.10.1
Server: 192.168.10.1
Address: 192.168.10.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: {domain}
Address: 31.216.52.129
31.216.52.130 is the new address and 31.216.52.129 is the old address. Cheers.
