Did you make a trace to see if it's going to the servers? SA is not using any cache we send a direct request to the server you specify. What is possible however is that on the network (typicaly the firewall) there is some kind of DNS cache that intercepts request and answers them for the outside dns server.

By internal resolver library cache are you referring to: My local machine cache for example if I want to clear it I would type: ipconfig /flushdns ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon A.

Is it possible that you're getting the address back from the system's internal resolver library cache? There's a check-box to make SA *NOT* remember IP addresses and to re-query on the name every check. -- Jon Freivald ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.netmindconsulting.com ) ( phone: 516.794.7696 x101 / fax: 516.794.7811 ) > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken McPhail [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 3:53 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SA-list] DNS Check[Scanned by Sophos MailMonitor] > > > Trying to setup a DNS health check for both my inside and outside DNS > servers.
