HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
We recently had a windows domain controller failure which was also our primary dns server for local network. The roles of that domain controller were transferred to a new windows server and the new windows server was set as a primary DNS server. We made sure that all the metadata plus DNS records (including WINS) of the failed domain controller was removed.
The problem is our HP UX system still queries the failed server to resolve DNS. This has caused the telnet session to become rather sluggish because of which an application that relied on it had terrible response time during log in.
The resolv.conf was updated with new dns servers addresses along with few other tips on reducing the recursive query time (from one of the threads in the forum). That didn't help. Engineer from HP came up with a workaround to help reduce the recursive query response time. BUT, we still see dns arp requests being sent over the network by ux client to the windows domain controller that no longer exists.
Any ideas on where the info of this failed server is stored in HP UX?
Thanks!

Re: HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
#/sbin/init.d/net stop
#/sbin/init.d/net start
# inetd -c
if you have downtime for the HPUX server, you use lanadmin command to reset your interface inroder to clear info of failed server stored on the "Network Layers" for HPUX Server Lan Card
or -> simple may be not recommend choice, you take reboot of the server, which narrow down problem
does your "DNS" Windows server , passing through "Fire Wall" ? if yes it would also check with "Network Team"

arp -a (display all ARP entries)
Check and compare the IP address with the MAC address to see if the old server is still there.
arp -d 123.456.789.10 (delete old server entry)

Re: HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
One of the things that the support noticed was delay in time from extended inetd logging when getremotenames routine was called.
IPv6 has also been disabled.
arp -a does not show the entry of the failed domain controller.
Our packet sniffer still shows arp request being sent to the failed windows machine.

Re: HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
I assume you verified that they are coming from the HP server? Can you tell from the packet what the originating port is? If so can you trace taht port to a process on the HP-UX server? If you have tcpdump and lsof installed on the HP-UX server it will help a lot with the troubleshooting.
Is the HP-UX server running named alone or as a secondary DNS server? Or any other network services such as samba (CIFS), bootp, bootpd etc?

Re: HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
One has to restart those processes to get them to see the new server entries in /etc/resolv.conf.

Re: HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
Can't reboot? Well I think you'll have to. I'm guessing that you old DNS server's hostname and ip address are still in the kernel's memory.
Check your arp -a table. See the old ip?
Another question, often time admins use a DNS server as an application server besides. Is this the case here? Was your old DNS dedicated or sharing a box?

Re: HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
Do you have a central server that pings every node on the network? Could the ip be there?

Re: HP UX system sending ARP request to a failed windows domain controller
Question: Do are requests get generated any other way besides an nslookup?
Cache's time out. Unless manually entered they will time out.
A) Got any static arp caches?
b) Switches and default routers are the responders to arp requests.
