No need to use the support tool dnscmd. You can manually clear the cache by right clicking on the server name and selecting Clear Cache. Although I could use that as a scheduled task if there is no other way to specify a timing for clearing the cache automatically.
It isn't the forwarder's cache, as it reflects properly as soon as I do a manual cache clear on the internal servers. We also get the correct update if we do a nslookup from the console of the forwarder DNS server. It's just a case of knowing where the cache time setting is, if there is one. I thought it was the expire settings, but that does not appear to affect the cache. I know where it is in a raw DNS file, but we are running AD integrated on the internal DNS, so that is not an option.

Test it out change your DNS server on a test box to the forwarders IP address. See if the changes are taking affect quickly. You may need to change the default gateway too, depending on your setup. -----Original Message----- From: Evans Chris - cevans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 11:37 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Win2k DNS cache If you are talking about clearing the Cache on the DNS server itself? You could use DNSCMD.EXE and the /ClearCache option from the support tools to clear it. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Bartley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 10:18 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Win2k DNS cache Our AD DNS servers are authoritative for internal only, they forward to our public DNS servers for anything not in the AD domain. I've tried to set DNS cache time to be as low as possible, we do a lot of updates on the public side and need them to reflect quickly from the internal perspective. It still takes over 24 hours for the cache to clear and reflect accurate info, so I have to manually tell it to clear the cache. Can someone point me to where I should be setting this so it clears the cache every few minutes? Apparently I don't know where it is.
