Hi, I just had an issue where an old AFSDB record showed up, pointing to an obsolete server. The client (Solaris, stable 1.2.late) learned this through its resolver, and kept it, regardless of what I tried in the DNS end (that is my normal realm of work, so AFS problems look like DNS issues, much like the hammer-and-nail proverb;-) the client would not relearn. I had to manually tell it about the real server.
>From this I assume that the client caches the result of "dig $REALM AFSDB +short" somewhere internally. Is this the case, where (if anywhere) is the knob, and what are the defaults? It might be noted that I did not wait untill the TTL of the DNS record had expired, so if there is an internal TTL that is decreased in concert with the DNS TTL that is fine -- that gives me a knob in DNS.. -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 cell KTHNOC +46 8 790 6518 office MN1334-RIPE Hello.
