Windows definitely caches DNS entries...but as far as I've seen, it does honor TTLs... Erik Amundson A+, N+, CCNA, CCNP IT and Network Manager Open Access Technology Int'l, Inc.

Depends on what you call "caching". Does honoring a TTL qualify as caching?
What other kind of DNS caching is there?
Can you imagine what would happen if every time anyone ever looked up
any hostname they sent out a DNS query?
That's what most Unix/Linux/*BSD boxes do unless they are running a local caching name service of some time (BIND, nscd, etc.). I wasn't actually aware that Windows had a DNS cache service. -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
