Depends on what you call "caching". Does honoring a TTL qualify as caching?
What other kind of DNS caching is there?
Can you imagine what would happen if every time anyone ever looked up any hostname they sent out a DNS query?
That's what most Unix/Linux/*BSD boxes do unless they are running a local caching name service of some time (BIND, nscd, etc.). I wasn't actually aware that Windows had a DNS cache service. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
