start -run ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /flushdns
If this for a DNS server, use the command "dnscmd" with options. eg: dnscmd dnssvr1.contoso.com /clearcache To clear DNS Cache in client, do the following: 1. Start 2. Run 3. Type "cmd" and press enter 4. In the command window type "ipconfige /flushdns" 5.a If done correctly it should say "Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache." 5.b If you receive an error "Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution.", follow the Microsoft KB Article 919746 to enable the cache. The cache will be empty; however, this will allow successful cache-flush in future.
In a Windows OS, the command "ipconfig /flushdns" is used to flush the DNS cache. A restart of the computer will also work.
Cache,Host Files, DNS server
jump around and it will work out
if the preferred dns server is blank then the system takes dns as the host server and try to resolve the entries from its own cache if it is able to do it then finew other wise it will show dns error on the IE page. same thing happens with the resources if its in the cache it will resolve the FQDN to IP othere wise will give error
Tree files to check on.etcman host.conf will tell you about the orderoptionetcIs for static dns resolveetcthe file for all your dns needsthen edit:/etc/resolv.confadd the following:nameserver 192.168.1.254nameserver 1.2.3.4
Local DNS cache of client computer, then the hosts file on the local PC finally going to the assigned DNS servers the computer is pointing to
<windows>\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
If a client send a query requesting for a particular web page to the DNS server and if the DNS server resolves the page from the other DNS servers & it will be store the same page in the DNS cache and it will give the response to the client with the requested page. If again the same web page is requested by any client then DNS server will get the web page from the DNS cache instead of again fetching the same page from the internet. With this there wont be any delay for the client to get the web page. This helps in bandwidth control. This is how the DNS server caching works.
insert a record to /etc/hosts file. ex:-<ip address>> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
