Does ISP cache DNS?
Your ISP runs a DNS server that is caching DNS entries for as long as you tell it to. If you control a DNS record, one aspect of that record is the “TTL” which tells DNS servers (and properly behaving clients) how long it should cache that value after it gets it from the authoritative DNS server.

Should you use ISP DNS?
It’s just a more secure protocol, and everyone should use it. However, even if you enable DoH in your browser, it’s up to the DNS provider to implement it. Most home network connections are configured by default to use the ISP’s DNS servers, which probably don’t support DoH.
Why does my ISP cache the DNS settings?
Your ISP is almost certainly caching DNS settings for some period of time. They are supposed to refresh the records when the TTL expires. Unfortunately there are a large number of ISPs that seem to ignore TTLs all together in their DNS caching schemes.
When does my ISP refresh the DNS records?
They are supposed to refresh the records when the TTL expires. Unfortunately there are a large number of ISPs that seem to ignore TTLs all together in their DNS caching schemes. If you happen to be on one of those ISPs it could be hours or even days before they respect the new records, even if you have a very low TTL set.
Can a ISP ignore a TTL in DNS caching?
Unfortunately there are a large number of ISPs that seem to ignore TTLs all together in their DNS caching schemes. If you happen to be on one of those ISPs it could be hours or even days before they respect the new records, even if you have a very low TTL set.
How does Google Public DNS reduce latency for ISPs?
To reduce latency for DNS queries, especially for ISPs located far from Google resolver locations , ISPs can use caching DNS resolvers that serve many clients. This can reduce the volume of DNS queries sent to Google Public DNS, but concentrating it to a few IP addresses makes it more likely to be throttled.
