The dump_infra command does not print expired entries.  Those are only
purged from memory when the limit (5m for you) is reached.  (Expired
entries that are 'expired rto' are printed, those are backed off
unreachable servers).

So the missing lines are expired entries in the cache that have lazily
not been purged from memory yet.  When you try that later on on a
freshly started server, the 1 hour ttl means that none have expired yet.

Best regards, Wouter
