SIAC has found a bug with the 5.0.1 OS of DataONTAP. There appears to be
no time-to-live on the cached IP addresses of hosts. Changes in the IP
addresses of hosts in DNS or NIS are not recognized until the NetApp is
either rebooted or "exportfs -a" is executed. To force re-reading of DNS
and NIS data, we have set up cronjobs to reboot our 6 NetApp 520's weekly.
