It can be used by the network equipment to communicate with websites without having to remember their addresses. The DNS cache is a sort of temporary database that can speed up information about your recent visits to websites and other domains.
However, the DNS cache may get corrupted or piled up over time, which can slow down your network connection and cause some network issues. So, it is necessary to flush DNS cache timely. Flushing DNS cache will remove all stored information and force your computer to search DNS information of a website from scratch. How to flush DNS cache on Windows 11? How to enable Hyper-V on Windows 11? Once the cached entry is deleted on the DC, it will resolve and re-cache the entry.
This issue seems to be specific to the DC, as clients in other sites on our network have no issues resolving the name. The servers have been rebooted and the entire cache has been deleted periodically but the site still has problems resolving periodically.
Any recommendations on steps that can be taken to further troubleshoot this would be appreciated. You said that there are two external sites that fail to resolve periodically. I am wondering if you mean that the other external sites or Internet websites all can be resolved well. Could you tell if this issue occurs on all DCs?
When this issue occurs, we could view this cache by browsing the Cached Lookups folder for a server in the DNS Management snap-in. This folder is not shown by default, so we need to select Advanced from the View menu. After that, try to resolve two external sites from one client. Now let's check where we get this invalid DNS cache record. When the issue occurs, all users in a the office cannot resolve the address. Additionally, the two Internet zone I'm having problems resolving occur in two different offices on two different DCs.
It will resolve on one but not the other. Once the existing cached entry is deleted on the problem DNS server, attempts to resolve are successful and the entry is re-cached on the DNS server. From that point it will resolve fine for a few days until it decides not to again.
I will capture a successful lookup for the problem zone using Network Monitor today. When it fails again, I will capture and compare the traces. There is no set pattern with this issue, so if I do not post for a few days it's because the issue hasn't re-occurred. Can you elaborate on why they were removed? Reason I'm asking is a forwarder will query through a firewall as long as all outbound traffic and established responses are allowed. Forwarders also bypass EDNS0 issues.
If the response is larger than bytes, it will revert to TCP. However, not all firewalls out of the box, allow EDNS. It must be configured. Older firewalls may not support it. Therefore, I'm leaning towards the issue with not being able to resolve certain websites without a Forwarder, but was working previously, can be due to EDNS0 block on the new firewall.
EDNS0 may not have been allowed. Try using 4. THey are reliable Forwarders. Let us know if this overcomes the issue. What is EDNS0? DO you a sample record you can post that is causing an issue? When Windows Server contacts a remote DNS server, this capability is negotiated and enabled if both ends support it, resulting in DNS record sets of a size greater than bytes.
Unfortunately, some firewalls have trouble with this enhancement as they are configured to drop DNS packets in excess of bytes. As you can imagine, this will result in significant problems with DNS servers on opposite sides of the firewall! It will drop back to using the RFC defined limits. These tools are located in the Support Tools folder on the Windows Server CD and can be installed by running the suptools.
You should restart the DNS service after you make this change. The first time you visit a site after clearing the cache, the site might be a little slower than usual, but after, the results will speed up again. Using a tool can help you keep track of DNS performance and identify issues before they cause a serious problem. With a tool like SolarWinds SAM installed, you may also receive an alert or notice other information prompting you to clear the cache.
You should then get a message indicating the cache has been successfully flushed. If you want to view the entries before clearing the cache, open the command prompt and type the command:. You can then review the entries and decide if you want to proceed with flushing the DNS. If the cache problem is on the server instead of the local machine, you can still use the command prompt, but with a different command.
In this case, it would be:.
