for this domain.

cache).
This cache can contain the following type of entries:
• Static Entries—These are mapping pairs that were manually added to the
cache. There can be up to 64 static entries.
• Dynamic Entries—These are mapping pairs that were either added by the
system as a result of being used by the user, or and an entry for each IP
