Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is it possible that my machine is caching a host name? I recently switched subnets and had my DNS host entries changed to correspond to my new subnet. My nameserver (198.60.22.2) is resolving my hostname (ezln23.earthbroadcasting.com) correctly when I do an 'nslookup', but when I do a 'ping', my host name is resolved to my old host IP address. I did a ping from a co-worker's Linux box and it resolved my new IP. I also restarted my box hoping that would clear any name cache that might exist on my box (assuming such a thing might even exists). No luck, my machine, and my machine only is still resolving my host name to 166.70.101.130 instead of 207.135.131.130 Any ideas? --Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
