DNS-Cache

I came across this Apple specific DNS cache situation this morning.
I changed a DNS record for my GIT-server and was trying to access it again, the DNS was still showing the old IP-Address. After some attempts to clear Linux DNS cache with “rndc flush” I recognized that dns is was cached by my Mac.

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
