Proxy DNS resolver mechanism

Hi,

I’d like to understand how Caddy resolves DNS names for upstream servers when using the proxy module. Does it honour record’s TTL, or only resolves the name when Caddy starts or reloads as haproxy/nginx do by default?

Hi @marpada, welcome to the Caddy community.

I don’t believe the behaviour is specified in Caddy’s programming. My understanding is that it uses Golang’s default behaviour for DNS resolution, which relies on the host running the program. If the host caches the DNS record during its TTL, I expect Caddy to, as well.
