If it is a bug then it is a bug in MANY libraries and applications used on a wide variety of platforms [not just GNOME/LINUX]. It likely means nginx and squid are categorically broken. The DNS lifetime determines how long it is cached by another DNS server or a resolver. Clients do not much care about TTL. It is very common - if not expected - for clients to *assume* that DNS look-up results are essentially static. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awill...@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
