    <p>Browsers cache DNS Responses for a few minutes and typically attempt a connection with the first IP address returned in the DNS response. The same IP is used until the cache expires.</p> <blockquote> <p>Internet Explorer caches DNS lookups for 30 minutes by default, as specified by the <code>DnsCacheTimeout</code> registry setting. Firefox caches DNS lookups for 1 minute, controlled by the <code>network.dnsCacheExpiration</code> configuration setting.</p> <p>From: <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html" rel="nofollow">Yahoo Dev Network: Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Therefore for multiple IP addresses to be used for load-balancing purposes, the DNS server must change the order of the addresses supplied in the response, choosing the order randomly or in a sequential "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS" rel="nofollow">round robin</a>" fashion. In fact, this is usually the default behaviour of DNS servers when they respond to hostnames with multiple A records.</p> <blockquote> <p>There is no standard procedure for deciding which address will be used by the requesting application - a few resolvers attempt to re-order the list to give priority to numerically "closer" networks. Some desktop clients do try alternate addresses after a connection timeout of 30-45 seconds.</p> <p>From: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia: Round robin DNS</a></p> </blockquote>

    1. COSo what happens when a browser has the entry cached and the server goes down/becomes unreachable. does it mean a requery on the dns to get the new entry. Also, do the plugins also follow the browser(like the flash plugin)? or do they have their own thing going on?

    2. CO@Ankur: As for plugins, they have their own thing. Most plugins even have provide a full TCP socket API, so they can do lookups themselves, and in general have nothing to do with the browser, except for being plugged into the document. As for your question, I believe yes, it will remain down until the cache expires, but I'm not 100% sure on that... I'm checking if I can find some authoritative answer...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
