DNS Cache?

[Dim (Angelos)]

@Hans_van_den_Bogert

It seems dns queries are cached indefinitely

where? in the java space or in the O/S space?
does the O/S resolve the fqdn/hostname to the newly assigned IP while your binding still caches the old dns resolution?

I am no Java developer, so I don’t know if Java caches it’s own dns resolutions/table.

edit: it seems it’s in the Java space:

@Hans_van_den_Bogert

Yet, the binding still uses the old IP until I restart openhab

@vzorglub

There are several topics around this subject already and the consensus is static IPs.

@vzorglub I think that he wants to use a hostname (for the Solar inverter host/endpoint) in his binding. It’s not clear to me if he uses discovery in his binding or sets manually the (hostname of the) target.
