This can be a DNS cache issue from my local machine, but I am not sure. This is what happens. I have a domain that does not use wildcard subdomains, so they have to be created.

Without creating the domain, and I point my browser to test.domain.com, I get a page server not found. Now when I create the subdomain, I keep getting the same problem.

Now when I first create the domain, without ever visiting the page, I get the normal page, but now when I delete the subdomain, it never goes away.

Can this be a DNS cache issue, I am working on a shared environment, maybe the router has a cache but I doubt that. Can this have something to do with my setup.

I have tried to use the Google DNS hosting, but this gives me the same results.

I have also tried some tools that clear my local DNS cache, they were some add-ons for FireFox.

Anyone have any ideas what can be the problem. Are there any tests I can do to see if there is some kind of cache between me and the server.
