245437 - How to Disable Client-Side DNS Caching in Windows [ipconfig
flushdns doesn;t due to high TTLs -reg entry to lower TTLs in cache]:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=245437

What is the trick here?
I type: ipconfig /flushdns
and the OS reports that the dns resolver cache is successfully
flushed, but when I enter the command: ipconfig /displaydns
the cache still contains lots of entries.

Question: How do I empty the local dns resolver cache?

Environment: winXPpro
DNS is running on a remote machine

thanks

No problem.

Did you find your HOSTS files infiltrated with entries too?
