Hello every one,

I’m having an annoying problem since 3 days, I can not connect to any google domain and a few others (yahoo), using Leopard…
I ran dscacheutil -flushcachel and it didn’t help
Could anyone help me please?

Thanks

hmills, I happen to use this every day, multiple times a day.

I do web development work and I have a local web server running on my laptop. I have an automator script which swaps my hosts file to point to the “real” site or my local development site with one click. At the end of the script, I clear the DNS cache. That way I can switch back and forth.

Example situation where it might make sense :
Your office server has a domain name (mycompany.com), but the company’s ISP decides to change the IP address associated with your office’s internet connection. For a short while (may be as short as 2 hours, but as long as 2 or more days), all DNS requests for mycompany.com will still resolve to the old IP address (because of caches), thus making the new address totally unreachable by DNS name.

If you clear your local DNS caches, it might then resolve to the new address.

That is unless your ISP doesn’t cache itself the DNS results. In that case, your last resort is to modify your /etc/hosts file to manually override the IP address associated with “mycompany.com”.

dscacheutil replaces lookupd in leopard. So it just becomes dscacheutil -flushcachel

I don’t think I’ve come across an instance where I would need this, but good to know
