Search Again: DNS advice From: Chris Vargas Date: Tuesday, December 31, 1996 Time: 5:01:00 pm My company has been serving the Mac Users of Delaware web site, and we're the primary DNS for it as well. I had been using the trial version of MultiHome to simulate multihoming, which required that I use a separate IP number (208.0.34.100) for serving www.mudel.org off of the same web server as www.mmg.com. Now, I'm switching to MultiHomie with WebSTAR 2.0, which requires me to set the IP number to the same as the main web site's IP (208.0.34.66). I changed mudel.org's info in QuickDNS and updated the serial# setting. However, of course, the Net's DNSes haven't been updated yet and the one I'm currently using (not MMG) is still trying to send me to 208.0.34.100. I used DigIt to look at mudel.org, and it does show that the correct IP number is in there, although I don't think it showed the correct serial#. What can I adjust to speed up the propagation of the "new" IP number through the net? I know there are time-to-live settings and such; I just didn't want to change anything that would do bad things. I guess it's a situation where I can adjust it temporarily. Thanks for the advice. Hope there's still folk reading this mailing list, even on New Year's Eve... _______ Chris Vargas "I wish outer space guys would conquer the <cvargas@mmg.com> or Earth and make people their pets, because <cvargas@earthlink.net> or I'd like to have one of those little beds <cvargas@aol.com> with my name on it." http://home.earthlink.net/~cvargas/
