MACUPDATE ADMIN Links fixed.
(Version 1.1)

	Mar 14 2008	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. (Version 1.1)		0
