Refresh Stale DNS Records on 1.1.1.1

What's this blog post about?

On August 21, 2018, a new feature was introduced for 1.1.1.1's public DNS resolver - the ability to refresh its DNS cache for domain names using the purge cache tool. This is beneficial for domain owners who have recently updated their DNS records and want to ensure that these changes are visible to all users utilizing 1.1.1.1 as their public DNS resolver. The resolver caches DNS entries for up to three hours, but with the purge cache tool, domain owners can now refresh this cache instantly without having to wait for expiration. To use the tool, one simply enters the name of their domain and selects the desired DNS record type before hitting the 'Purge Cache' button. The feature is available at a specific URL where users can provide feedback in the comments section.
