the cache dump also has this entry (myname.mydomain.com is name I am interested in) myname.mydomain.com 10324 \-ANY ;-$NXDOMAIN Which probably means if anyone requests for myname.mydomain.com, they will be handed NXDOMAIN for upto 10324 seconds from now.. Our current work around is to restart named (which cache) or we could do a 'rndc flush'. Question: Is there a BIND option to say 'Don't cache myname.mydomain.com for NXDOMAIN error code?' Alternatively, I can have a local query for this and flush cache if error code is NXDOMAIN, but is hacky.. I would like a config option _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
