CNAME DNS Web cache 1

[people3]

Hi

We have a slight problem at our site. Our internal domain name is the same as our external domain name. So that we can browse our own website a

http://www record

(CNAME) has been added to DNS to point to our hosting companys website.

This all worked fine until we updated our web site. Now all the PC on our network only see the old web site and if you browse to it from a external PC it is fine.

Does DNS hold a

http://www cache?

and if so how do you flush it?

Many Thanks

Go to your DNS MMC - Right Click on Server Icon. Choose "Clear Cache

Try going to dos and doing

ipconfig /flushdns

Should help.

people3, here's a star for letting us know what the problem was. Way to often the solution is found, but never posted, so we're left out in the cold as to what happened. This gives us another piece of info to pass on when someone else has a similar problem. Thanks.
