Re: DNS cache flushing



Is there a way to flush the DNS cache on OS X Server 10.3.5?  I could not
find anything in Server Admin and when I tried to run rndc flush at the
command line it just tanked.


By default, Apple has rndc listenining on port 54 (instead of the expected 953). So, you have to specify the port manually:
`rndc -p 54 reload`


You can change this in /etc/named.conf:

At the top you'll find something like this:
   controls {
      inet 127.0.0.1 port 54 allow {any; };
   };

Change the port number to what you want, restart bind, and you're set.
