Run nslookup SomeInternetSite
If you get a non-authoritative comment, it is caching. You may have to to
this twice.

box points to my COL server for name resolution and it works fine.
But I don't know if it's caching.  One test I have done is something
like 'dig www.website.com'.  The first time I run it, it might take a
second or two, but the second time it only take between 180 and 255ms.
But I don't know if that tells me what I need to know.  Any help would
be appreciated.  > > > Brian
