useWindowsDnsCache: Incorrect or confusing notes notes #1840

Closed ralish closed 8 months ago

ralish commented 8 months ago

Documentation Issue

The description for the useWindowsDnsCache setting states setting it to true will bypass the the Windows DNS cache, but this appears to be the opposite of what the setting does based on its name. Either the documentation is wrong, or additional details should be added to make it clear this is correct despite the misleading setting name.

Suggested Improvements

Verify the accuracy of the documentation for the useWindowsDnsCache setting and update as appropriate. It may be the default setting is also incorrect as a result and is in fact true.
