ARP Cache

Dear all,

We are testing two of our servers for mq series connectivity. The scenario is, when one machine is shutting down it抯 services there are some scripts that do a dns update, which removes the ip address and relates it to the ip address of the other node on our dns server, and the update happens properly, now comes the real issue:

Solaris 8 node does not clear the ipaddress from the arp cache

Solaris 10 node does not seem to check the cache; it directly looks up from the dns

We are really puzzled. Can you put in some thought?

TIA

Hi,

As you posted this to the clustering list I assume your servers are Sun Cluster nodes. Which version of cluster are you using? Why are you not using a failover address controlled by cluster? You would then only need one dns entry for the failover address.

Maybe I have missed something :)

Hi,These are veritas cluster nodes. During failover we would be changing the dns record to point to the other node. But even after the update previous record is the one reached from our side.R
