    FONAS  This does NOT just flush the DNS cache; it flushes the whole Directory Service cache. The man page for dscacheutil says:

    -flushcache

    Flushes the entire cache. This should only be used in extreme

    cases. Validation information is used within the cache along

    with other techniques to ensure the OS has valid information

    available to it.

    MACUPDATE ADMIN  Whenever I have trouble, for example, accessing some websites that I know are accessible, I use:

    lookupd -flushcache

    SATYRICA  Why do people always try to show off that they know

    how to use terminal and ask stupid questions like

    that.

    If you were intelligent u'd know this is simply a gui

    frontend of that....

    SJK  Apparently nothing different:

    % strings MacOS/DNS\ Flusher | fgrep cache

    /usr/bin/dscacheutil

    -flushcache
