Changing the contents of a topology region record may result in DNS queries temporarily being directed as if the change had not happened for queries from the IP address of the last end user client to use topology load balancing.
After changing the contents of a topology region record, the last end user client to send a query before the change may receive the wrong load balancing decision if the change affected that decision. Queries from other end user clients are load balanced correctly and cause the issue to go away until the next topology region record change.
-- A client at a single IP address makes multiple queries that are load balanced using topology, both before and after a change to a topology region record, where that change also modifies the result the single client receives. -- If a query from a different client IP address is received and load balanced using topology, then the issue is corrected until the next change to a topology region record.
This issue can be temporarily corrected by sending a DNS query that is load balanced using topology after making changes to region records.
The system now handles regions item changes as expected, so this issue no longer occurs.
