A. To clear the DNS cache, perform the following steps:
Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) DNS snap-in (Go to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, and click DNS).
From the View menu, select Advanced.
Select and right-click the Cached Lookups tree node from the left-hand pane.
Select Clear Cache from the context menu.
You can also use the Dnscmd command in Windows Server 2003 to clear the cache. From the command prompt, type
dnscmd /clearcache
