In Auto Refresh mode, DSMDECdns bypasses its own mem- ory of the namespace structure and gets data directly from the nameservice as you are browsing the namespace struc- ture. Since the namespace structure changes infrequently, DSMDECdns remembers the structure of the parts you've explored. This makes viewing those parts much faster when you revisit them. However, this also means that if the namespace structure does change, you won't see those changes in any parts you've already explored. Unless, that is, you turn on Auto Refresh. In this mode, every time you open a directory, DSMDECdns substitutes what it knew about that part of the namespace structure with new information from the nameservice.
