DNS
- Can I have newly edited host file entries take effect immediately?

- Why does my TCPware system not get the correct IP address changed in DNS, even after rebooting to make sure it was not in the DNS cache?
- Why can some DNS clients not resolve names when they are configured to use the secondary address as their nameserver?
- There is a secondary address configured on a TCPware system that is also running as a DNS nameserver. Some DNS clients can not resolve names when they are configured to use the secondary address as their DNS nameserver. Why?
- Why is the secondary nameservers not picking up the change to a DNS zone file on the primary nameserver?
- Can this behavior be changed? When TCPware does a lookup on a host name and the host name is available in DNS and the hosts. file, it gives the answer found in the hosts. file and not in DNS.
- Is there a way to make new hosts entered in the hosts. file immediately available?
