San Francisco - OpenDNS, the award-winning recursive DNS provider, today introduced CacheCheck, its cache-clearing tool that empowers domain owners to check and refresh the OpenDNS cache on their own if their domain is not resolving.
CacheCheck for domain owners: OpenDNS gives you unique insight and control into how OpenDNS resolves your domain with OpenDNS CacheCheck. If you are moving a domain from one DNS host to another, CacheCheck can help you make that transition smoother. In effect, you tell OpenDNS to "refresh now," ahead of TTL expiration.
CacheCheck for website visitors: If you visit a domain and find that it's not resolving, CacheCheck is a way for you learn more about why that might be happening. In some cases, you can help fix the problem even though you don't control the domain itself.
Terms and Availability
OpenDNS CacheCheck is entirely free to use. The new tool will be available on Tuesday, Dec. 19.
