Problem
We've seen SARA U2XX modems stuck returning potentially cached DNS lookup results for longer than records' TTL despite the fact that DNS records have been modified. The only thing that caused AT+UDNSRN to correctly re-resolve in those particular cases was to reset the modem.
This causes problems for device service deploys.
Solution
In order to remove this layer of uncertainty with AT+UDNSRN we are using our own DNS client on all Gen 2 cellular devices now, whereas previously we've only used it for LTE SARA R4 devices where AT+UDNSRN was not supported.
