Re: [squid-users] positive_dns_ttl question (2nd post)

Hi Simon,

Well, I don't know very well how to identify if the remote hosts has a
dynamic IP or not assigned for load balancing purposes, but this happens
for most of the addresses that I've checked.

As for your response, I must assume that by some mechanism the resolver
'knows' if it can cache the RR data or not, is this right ?.

Thanks for your help.

cnn.com is a dynamic load balanced type thing so it may return different
IPs each time.

Is the same true of a static IP of a humdrum server?
