Flush DNS cache in Lion and Mountain Lion
Overall as of 10.6 mDNSresponder fully took over Unicast and Multicast DNS Queries on behalf of client processes, and maintains a cache of the replies. It was moved from Directory Services so the hint is correct and running dscacheutil on these systems will do nothing to fix DNS issues.
The correct method is to restart mDNS. I have a script that most of my users have to gracefully restart mDNS. Have been using it for years to get round the poor DNS implementation on OS X. My god Apple have butchered it !
save as mdns_reload.command and place on desktop for easy cache clearing/restarting on mDNS.
Also if you run this command you will get a very detailed report in /var/logs/system.log of the state of your cache etc. Edited on Aug 09, '12 02:13:38AM by agentx
