IPCONFIG/???
sihfmis
the DNS IP addresses within my domain. What is the difference?
When I run the noted command it shows an external IP address (127.0.0.1).
That was not what I was expecting to see. Is that correct or am I missnig
something?

ipconfig ....
/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.
/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache.
your machine will have its own local cache, so when you go to www.google.com
once it will use your dns servers, and also cache a local copy of the
ip address for that record. The next time you try www.google.com it
will check your local dns cache first.
the 127.0.0.1 is the ip for the "localhost" record in your cache.
You can get a good understading of what's going on by running at the
command line which will run them in order. You'll then see your newly
created cache entries for google.
ipconfig /flushdns && ping google.com && ipconfig /displaydns
Hope that helps

The ipconfig /displaydns command provides you with a means to view the
contents of the DNS client resolver cache, which includes entries preloaded
from the local Hosts file, as well as any recently obtained resource records
for name queries resolved by the system. This information is used by the DNS
Client service to quickly resolve frequently queried names before it queries
its configured DNS servers.
