Hmm, so there isn't anything in group policy perhaps that could address this? I was thinking that maybe adding it to a trusted zone, or something along those lines would help?

Here's the situation, we have a satellite office in which I set up an ISP failover for whenever the primary goes down. THe primary ISP has a VPN connection to our main office, but the backup ISP does not.<br />
<br />
Our homepage is set to an internal SharePoint site, that works fine when the primary is up, but defaults to our external SharePoint interface when the backup ISP is running and requires login credentials.<br />
<br />
This is fine, since it's expected. However, what happens sometimes is that it'll cache the external IP in IE even though the VPN is up and primary ISP is active, it won't default to automatically accessing the internal IP and loading SharePoint.<br />
<br />
Eventually it resolves itself later in the day, but short of waiting, or telling a user to flush their DNS, is there a better way to ensure it uses the internal IP whenever appropriate?<br />
<br />
Hope this made sense. Thanks.

Can I prevent a site from caching DNS on certain machines?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
