[Gllug] named cache

[Robin Cannings]

Try stopping and restarting the nscd (Name server cache demon)
/etc/init.d/nscd stop etc ...
Not sure if it'll have one by that's what screws up my solaris boxes

Cheers
Rob

I can't seem to find a method of forcing my local nameserver to 'lose' its
cache, in order to force it to reload domain names (specifically mx records)
from the authorative nameservers. Any suggestions ?

The problem is that one of our customers MX records has been screwed and our
nameserver has the wrong IP address cached.  It appears to have a ttl of 7
hours
- and I don't want to wait that long for our nameserver to get the 'right'
mx record.   I have fudged the issue temporarily by putting an artificial
smtp
route in the qmail config file, but for future ref it would be nice to know
how to get the nameserver cache reloaded correctly

Any assitsance appreciated

Tim
