Topic: How to Refresh DNS Cache?

[wjhobbs]

I have made a DNS change on a commercial DNS service to point to a new location for a web site. But my interal workstations are continuing to point to the old address.

Is there a way to force the SME7 dns cache to refresh?

Thanks.

Have you tried...

svc -t /service/dnscache

Thanks, Byte.

My ignorance is huge. I would have thought that would terminate the service. Does it also result in the service starting up again afterward? Or would I need to explicitly start it up?

Thanks.

It will restart the dnscache for you.

As I understand it a supervised service will get restarted automatically if it stops (or is terminated).
