Is there a way to clear the local DNS cache on XP clients and if so how or
where is that file stored that holds the information. I am assuming that it
is a simple text file but I am not able to find it.

Thanks
Jeff
 
The command *ipconfig /flushdns* clears the dynamic cache. Static entries
might be in the %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
Re-issue *ipconfig /registerdns* after flushing the cache.
