Ubuntu – How to clear DNS cache in Ubuntu

dnsUbuntu

I'm having problems related to DNS solving in my Ubuntu 9.10.
Prior complaining to my ISP I would like to refresh my local DNS cache, like in Windows we do ipconfig /flushdns.

How can I do that in Ubuntu?

Øhh, ubuntu doesn't cache DNS per default. So there is nothing to flush! (but maybe your SOHO router does). Installing nscd will make ubuntu cache DNS, afterwhich you can clear your cache - but this is besides the point, when you don't have it installed yet!
