Cache for DNS-Host definition

redhorse2017 over 15 years ago

Good morning,

I've got a problem with a DNS-Host definition:

For example, Host A has the hostname hosta.local with ip-adress 192.168.0.1 which is assigned by a windows dhcp server. Now, ASG doesn't recognize the change of the ip-adress to 192.168.0.2, the packet filter rule doesn't match, because hosta.local has still 192.168.0.1 in its definition on ASG.

Is it possible to update the dns-cache for the dns host definition in scheduler or something like that?

Kind regards
Christian

If I understand your question correctly, you should assign a fixed IP to Host A instead of letting it use DHCP.

Yes, fixed IP or static assigned DHCP address.

Anyone knows how long a "DNS Host" lookups are cached until it is renewed by the ASG?

iirc, 2 hours. but that may have changed.
