InterMapper's timer for updating each device's DNS is tied to the TTL of the associated DNS record on your DNS server (min. 2 minutes, max 24 hours). I wonder if the DNS TTL's have changed? If the TTL is low enough, reprobing the device or using a sub-minute poll interval can make the DNS update appear nearly instantaneous. That's just a side effect though; the reprobe command does not reset the timer for DNS. ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
