ssh not resolving updated CNAMES

  • 772

I have an alias for SSHing in to a specific machine. The alias uses a hostname like so:

ssh [email protected]

Example.com is a CNAME. For some reason, I can dig the hostname after I change the CNAME to point somewhere else, and it resolves correctly, but on the same machine, ssh thinks the CNAME is still the old location. How do I get ssh to resolve the new CNAME correctly?

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.

ssh
