I have curl installed on my ubuntu instance. Can any one let me know location of curl dns cache file as well the location of global cache dns file.

I was going through the curl documentation and could not find any.

Ubuntu does not cache dns information. Neither does curl itself. In my experience, curl along with ssh and other network-related programs on Linux run a fresh dns query every time they run.

I have seen the same to be true on CentOS/RHEL/Fedora which I also use frequently.
