Hi guys, we currently have a problem where one of our client has have
switched their dns mail and hosting over to us, but the monkeys they
were with before had set the TLL at 7 days.
So for example it's currently on day 5 in the Xtra dns cache.
Is there anyway to speed up the process and flush those cached values?
That client has of course just done send some publicity out :-)
PS: The domain in question is thereef.co.nz.
Thanks.

No, which is a pity, as an early cache invalidation protocol is something DNS could do with.

Well then, on the old webserver, just make the index page redirect to the new webservers IP address (not name). You may need to modify the webserver config, esp. if its using virtual servers. -- Cameron Kerr cameron.kerr(a)paradise.net.nz : http://nzgeeks.org/cameron/ Empowered by Perl!

We don't have access to the old web or mailserver of course, so we can't
do that. That would have been easy :-)
I personnaly don't think there is an easy way around it, I was just
checking if anybody had a bit of magic...
Thanks.

No magic bullet for this one but we've "flushed" alien and terminator and are now showing you as authoritative for thereef.co.nz with a serial of 2004032001. HTH your customer. At 17:34 15/04/04, jfp wrote:
