Search Again: Re: How DNS works ? From: Aaron Lynch Date: Friday, November 1, 2002 Time: 9:10:53 pm Thanks all, I thought that it must be broken, but like I said even after I killed the one really bad offender at the edge router, our traffic was still abnormally high. This, plus the fact that I'm a little peeved at the (ex) client made me re-create the zone with an a record of 127.0.0.1, and I gave it an insane 1000 day refresh :) That seems to have fixed the problem until these morons fix the dns at the registrar.
