<body><div>I started to ask how to do something apparently non-standard - which probably means I'm doing it wrong.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm locally hosting my domain records using the authoritative server and also using a recursor. The recursor is configured with a list of forward-zones. My master server just has the auth & recursor running (on different internal IPs) - my slave server uses dnsdist in front of its own instances of auth & recursor (I'm still getting used to dnsdist).</div><div><br /></div><div>I include all that just in case it's relevant - but I had this issue prior to dnsdist and prior to replication so I'm hoping not.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, after all that - when I make a change to a domain record using pdnsutil or an external tool using the API - the changes are immediately applied to the zone but are not immediately visible through the recursor. To make that happen I need to either flush the cache or just restart the recursor.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is an issue when creating/updating ACME challenge records - I haven't been able to totally automate the process. I need to introduce lengthy delays, try manually applying the changes, restart the servers, whatever.</div><div><br /></div><div>So - either I'm just doing this wrong (likely) or I need to ask: is there a way to make changes in the auth server immediately visible in the recursor? Possibly by explicitly disabling caching for the internal zones? Probably a bad idea but I can't think how else to accomplish this.</div>
