Default Re: Yahoo Slurp DNS Lookup Asleep at the Wheel

To prevent overloading the DNS system with requests, most search engines will cache DNS information, often for longer than usual times. As far as I know, the only way to force a search engine to update the DNS cache for your server is to ensure the old server responds to requests for the moved domain with a domain not available (no such host or bad gateway) response.
