Description
I was hoping someone could help explain an issue that I'm experiencing. I have multiple servers that seem to be caching an ip address that no longer exists. Here is the irb below

The addresses ending in 117 no longer exist and any others are fine. It's important to note that i've changed all ip addresses, nameservers, and other information to ensure it's not visible where this is from.
could someone help explain how resolv caches and how is that cleared? This is running ruby 2.6.3
