Hello! I run a ircd and named on the same server. My resolver (/etc/resolver.conf) is setup so that it points only to localhost (DNS is running on the same server).
Now for a reason not related to ircd I changed the IP address of one of my DNS. Everything else works except ircd, it still queries the old IP address (confirmed by stracing ircd). I do not want to kill ircd, is there a way to refresh the internal resolver in ircd? If not why in earth does it cache the nameservers and why doesn't it timeout the entries properly (DNS refresh periods). I'm running 2.10.10-pl18 on Linux 2.4. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
