How can I clear the contents of the DNS resolution cache in Windows 2000 and later?
A. To clear the DNS cache, perform the following steps:
- Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) DNS snap-in (Go to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, and click DNS).
- From the View menu, select Advanced.
- Select and right-click the Cached Lookups tree node from the left-hand pane.
- Select Clear Cache from the context menu.
You can also use the Dnscmd command in Windows Server 2003 to clear the cache. From the command prompt, type
dnscmd /clearcache

dnscmd /clearcache clears the DNS server cache. ipconfig /flushdns clears the local resolver cache. Even on a server, those two things are different.
