Hi,

We recently made a change to our DNS settings, which coincides with our iphone app breaking. The old DNS settings should still work fine, i.e it should be a seamless switchover.

  • In a browser, the site appears
  • Over 3G, the server appears unreachable to our app (hard to provide more info, iphone build was outsourced)
  • over wifi, the server is reachable fine
  • after a hard reset of the phone, over 3G, the server is reachable fine

This inconsistent behaviour (repeated on 2 handsets to verify) is quite puzzling; my best guess is some kind of DNS caching on the handset, that only applies over 3G, and is refreshed after a reset.

Can anyone:

  • corroborate such behaviour in the iphone,
  • guide as to how I might fix the issue
  • or if will fix itself after some kind of cache is cleared, and will this happen automatically, and how frequently?
