How do I flush my local DNS cache?

Flushing the DNS cache on your computer

If you cannot find how to do the above, try this FlushDNS.bat script.

To flush the DNS cache in Mac OS X:

in your terminal, type:
# dscacheutil -flushcache
on older versions of OS X, type:
# lookupd -flushcache
Your DNS cache has been flushed.

To flush the DNS cache in Linux

in your terminal, type:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart
or
# service nscd restart

Please note, many distributions do not cache DNS, so if nscd is not installed on your distro, this is not needed.
