Bind DNS Server is not respecting the nscd cache positive TTL value

Hi All,

 

Am working on some feature related to nscd DNS caching which will enhance the performance of the cucm.

The problem is TTL(Time-to-Live) seems to be not working because cache is not automatically not getting flushed once the TTL expires!

Every time manually i have to flush the cache irrespective of the TTL value being set which is a pain for any one.

I want to know how best nscd and its TTL works with the DNS server?

is there a way in which dns server can automatically flush the cache rather using a manual flush?

nscd -g:

hosts cache:

            yes  cache is enabled
            yes  cache is persistent
            yes  cache is shared
            211  suggested size
         216064  total data pool size
            824  used data pool size
           3600  seconds time to live for positive entries
             20  seconds time to live for negative entries
              1  cache hits on positive entries
              0  cache hits on negative entries
            238  cache misses on positive entries
             17  cache misses on negative entries
              0% cache hit rate
              6  current number of cached values
             13  maximum number of cached values
              2  maximum chain length searched
              0  number of delays on rdlock
              0  number of delays on wrlock
              0  memory allocations failed
            yes  check /etc/hosts for changes

Please i need advice help from the DNS experts..

 

Thanks,

Guru
