[outages] [Outages-discussion] dns cache flush request

[Eduard Tieseler]

This would be a nice feature/framework to have. I work for a service that
is a membership based website that Realtors use for their business and a
number of months ago we had an issue where a few of our URL¹s were cached
with the incorrect IP address. Our TTL was 3 hours but it was not
respected and these incorrect URLs had a TTL of 1 week. OpenDNS gives you
the ability to request a DNS cache flush, but trying to deal with the
various ISPs to get them to flush that DNS cache was far far worse than
pulling teeth with no anesthetic. Only a couple were helpful and even
understood what I was requesting, but most hadn¹t the slightest clue what
I was talking about.

It is rare, but some times things happen and it would be helpful to have
some method to be able to flush DNS cache on servers who have incorrect
data stored in their cache.

That¹s my 2 cents.

Regards,

Eduard Tieseler
