Subject: Domino server caching "last known address"

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Administration

Platform: System i (iSeries/i5OS)

Release: 8.5.2

Reproducible: Always

Domino 8.5.2FP2 on i5/os lpar running 7.1.

Changed IP address of a domino server (LDAP02) on another lpar on a different i. Changed our dns entries for it.

Back on our '01' lpar I can ping it and it gets the new address fine. nslookup also works fine. WRKDOMSVR shows 8 domino servers. 7 of 8 can run TRACE LDAP02 and it finds the new address. On NOTES01 however, it retains old address:

08/20/2011 08:11:08 Network: Server LDAP02 is not responding

It's using "last known address" instead of finding new address.

Bouncing of server NOTES01 had no effect. Trace still used "last known address".

I also did CFGTCP 12 and changed search priority from *LOCAL to *REMOTE and back. A change here is supposed to refresh the i's cache. But since ping and nslookup were already working fine I didn't have any hope that it would do any good.
ou
Successful workaround: Add Connection document from NOTES01 to LDAP02 using IP address. But, it didn't make the change until server was bounced. IOW the trace still picked up "last known address" and after the bounce it used new IP address. Took connection document out and bounced server again. It's back to using "last known address" but at least it's using the new IP address. Still caching but now cache has current IP address.

How do you turn off the caching?
