Confluence caches DNS lookups for too long

    • Component/s: None
    • Environment:

      Toward the end of September 2007 the plugin repository started failing with a 502 error (see attachment), which continued for a couple of weeks before I got a resolution. According to a post on the mailing list the cause was that one of Atlassian's servers had changed IP address, and restarting Confluence made it pick up the new address.

      So that means Confluence is caching the results of the DNS lookup beyond the TTL expiry. Please could this be fixed so future IP address changes don't break Confluence again?
