Force reload DNS BIND through DA or commandline

[bander]

Some times creating subdomains it takes some time before it resolves.
Is there a way to let them resolve instantly, maybe to force reload DNS BIND and then how can it be done through DA or commandline?

Are there any consiquences when you reload DNS BIND and have to take in consideration?

Theres no real consequence to reloading bind in the control panel other than it will exit the program for 1-2 seconds but it will not force it to resolve instantly by just that. Most of the time the waiting is caused by ISPs having the DNS cached in their servers and not going to update it with any new/changed entries for a few hours (or whatever the TTL is set to if its set) and you just have to wait it out.

Adding a subdomain does reload BIND. It takes up to a minute because DA adds the command to the task manager, which runs every minute.

If you try to see it before the minute you'll have a problem because your browser, your local (router) DNS cache, or even your upstream DNS cache, may contain "not found" data for a while.

So be paitent before that first test ;) .

Since subdomain.example.com is new, it won't be cached by any ISP, except perhaps yours, if you didn't wait a minute before you tried it (see my previous response).
