Bug #4762

Check status of items on this page for aliases shows the immediate resolution not the values held in the cache

Description
Not sure whether this is a bug in the existing functionality or really a request for additional functionality.
Would be handy to be able to view from the GUI the currently resolved names for an alias, not what would be resolved at that instant?

which page are you referring to? diag_tables.php?
Updated by Technical Support Brendata (UK) Ltd almost 10 years ago
Yes, sorry, diag_tables.php.
This showed all entries as being correct, however, when looking at the resolver logs I could see that some had been dropped and not yet refreshed.
Maybe an icon beside each to show whether it is or isn't in the "in memory" alias?

- Status changed from New to Not a Bug
- Affected Version deleted (
2.2.2)
diag_tables shows what is in the table (""in memory" alias") at the time the page is loaded. filterdns keeps that updated as TTLs expire. What diag_tables shows is what is in active use.

I'll see if I can reproduce this, but the diag_tables showed all IP addresses (I should add that I have applied the pre 2.2.3 patch regarding duplicated FQDN's as this was affecting us).
We had to reboot our internal DNS server (TTL of 1 hour), the server took 5-10 minutes to reboot, however, a number of machines could not use the rule that allowed them internet access and the resolver log showed that their IP addresses had been dropped and it was a number of minutes later until they were re-added on the next 5 minute poll.
I'll get screen captures and the relevant log entries if this happens again.
