This is an odd question, kind of a n00b, but does anybody know if there is a way to cache DNS on my windows 2016 server so that it doesn't check for new dns entires for an extended period of time? For example, I want it to keep all records for a minimum of 8 hours. This would be in the event that a major DNS carrier were to go down I would have all the cached for a minimum time.
Thanks
