How to clear dns cache flush dns cache

To clear Dns Cache or flush dns cache can be done by the rebooting the machine, but this is not the most practical way of doing this. The resolver cache has a preset default period of storage time of 24 hours, which holds the IP address in the dns cache. This time period of 24 hour can produce an error if the address in the (ULR) Uniform Resource Locator has altered before the period is over. This particular dns error or 404 pages in your browser is not the most of common occurrences but some times will happen. This can also some times happen when there are high Internet traffic large loads on the main server making it will through out a negative response because the Uniform Resource Locator is temporarily busy. Resulting in the old records - negative responses still located in the local cache. The preset default period is about five to six minutes or more before negative response clearing dns cache is fixed and restored to the correct value.
