Don't backup the DNS cache. All the entries will probably expire before you ever have to restore it. The cache is a convenience, not a necessity anyway. If you are using an external DNS server all the entries are cached there anyway. The DNS cache I was referring to was the XMail dnscache directory andI looked at it with explorer. The Microsoft DNS server cache always has atrailing period in its Cached Lookups entries as shown below (if the graphicis not removed by the list server) [IMG] This is a listing output from the Microsoft DNSserver: Name Type Data advance datafull mrse telecentro (same as parent folder) NS athea.ar. (same as parent folder) NS ctina.ar. (same as parent folder) NS merapi.switch.ch. (same as parent folder) NS ns.uu.net. (same as parent folder) NS ns1.retina.ar. (same as parent folder) NS relay1.mecon.gov.ar. At 10:43 AM 08/06/2005, you wrote: Thank you again Tom, How did you search for files in the DNS cache? All the methods I used does not find them since according to Windows they shouldn't exist. I tried using
the Windows search, VB script, and using the FindFirstFile API with no luck. If I actually go to each folder in explorer and there is a file with a trailing period, I can see it, but I can't delete it.
