Every couple of months someone posts on a selection of industry mailing lists that something has happened and can everyone please flush their DNS caches for mywebsite.com. Often someone follows up the discussion by suggesting some kind of automated system, which results in a mention of opendns/googles flush pages, there is a little more suggestion that a community flush system would be useful, then the thread fizzles out.
I hereby propose an automated cache flush mechanism. I have no idea what such a protocol should look like, however support for it probably needs to be built in to standard DNS software. BIND needs a setting that can tell it to register with "cacheflushservice.net" which will result in the "cacheflushservice.net" server sending out a request to flush google.com to all registered servers whenever I ask them to flush google.com for me. Comments? Ideas? Does someone want to make a slightly more formal proposal for what such a protocol should look like? - Mike Jones _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
