Flushing DNS Cache

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: October 29, 2010
I have been advised to flush the DNS cache to solve a problem I am having with certain websites. To do this I was advised to see the web pagehttp://www.techiecorner.com/35/how-t...x-windows-mac/. The instructions there tell me: To flush the DNS cache in Linux, restart the nscd daemon:- - To restart the nscd daemon, type /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart in your terminal - Once you run the command your linux DNS cache will flush. However when I try that in the Ubuntu terminal I get: bash: /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd: No such file or directory And attempting to find file "nscd" anywhere else has been fruitless. How does one flush the DNS cache in Ubuntu? Release 8.04 (Hardy) Kernel 2.6.24-16-Generic Gnome 2.22.1 Browser3.0b5

Display and Flush DNS cache

location: linuxquestions.com - date: March 18, 2005
Hello, I have a computer assignment and I need the right command in linux. I need to display recent DNS records and clear them whenever I want. In windows "ipconfig /displaydns" and "ipconfig /flushdns" commands are used respectively. Are there any commands in linux which are equivalent to these ones? or in Linux isn't there such an option? Can "ifconfig" solve this problem? If yes what should be the exact options and command line?

Squid DNS cache

location: linuxquestions.com - date: March 10, 2007
I have squid on OpenBSD 4.0 I'm having trouble accessing a specific website thru squid...without squid it gets there without any problem. I'm thinking it may be the internal dns cache of squid that is the cause of the issue. The DNS server is on windows 2003 and I already clear the cache entries there. Does anyone know to clear the internal squid dns cache? Thank you

Howto flush dns cache

Hi, Slackware64 13.0 I have a website that has been migrated to a new server. After a few days I'm still pointing at the old server and the hosting company have recommended that I flush my dns cache. A quick google for this in linux seemed to recommend restarting the nscd daemon but nscd -g tells me it's not running anyway. I connect to Virginmedia via wired ethernet to a Belkin N1 router so is there a way I can do this I wonder, either via Virginmedia or Slackware?

Clearing DNS Cache

location: linuxquestions.com - date: May 26, 2013
Just wanted to say, before I started this thread, I did do some research on the Internet as well as the forums. I'm in the process of migrating a few sites from one server to another, and in the process, instead of changing the DNS records, I modified my hosts file to point to the new server. The new server is running Nginx and several server blocks. I've had to change the hosts file a few times, however this evening the cache seems to have not cleared yet, and I can't find a manual way of clearing the cache. I've even tried rebooting as a last resort. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
