note 77668 added to function.gethostbyname

referring to ralphbolton at mail2sexy dot com comment: (at least in 5.2.0 + djbdns-dnscache) gethostbyname does not really seem to cache entries. If somebody notices a speed-up after the second lookup of the same domain - that's most likely your dns-cache itself, not some php-internal dns-cache. It does cache the entries in your /etc/resolv.conf (e.g. what dns to use) so I agree with him, that stopping and starting apache, will reload the resolv.conf. ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 80.142.219.231 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyname.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77668 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77668/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77668/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77668/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77668/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77668/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77668/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77668 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77668 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
