Domain name, DNS Cache Reset Time-out | USRobotics NETServer/16

Domain name

This is the name of the domain the NETServer belongs to. Both the primary and the secondary name servers must belong to the same domain. Use the following command:

set domain <domain name>

DNS Cache Reset Time-out

Once the NETServer has obtained a name resolution response from a DNS server, it caches the results so that the name resolu- tion information can be reused without further DNS requests. The following command configures the length of time NETServer caches individual DNS responses before refreshing them (by issuing another DNS request):

set dnscache <DD:HH:MM>

You must specify days, hours and minutes as three two-digit pairs separated by colons. For example,

set dnscache 00:00:30

The default is 30 minutes. Earlier versions of the NETServer firmware also used 30 minutes for this function, but did not allow you to change it.
