General Questions

I'm using my M0n0 as DNS server for my local clients.
From my understanding the m0n0 system caches the DNS entries it 'knows'.  How can I force a flush of that cache?  The only way that I found until now was a reboot of the m0n0 box, but I can't believe that is the way to do this....

Any ideas?

Yes - that is, if you've got the DNS forwarder enabled. Flushing the cache can be done simply by clicking "Save" on the DNS forwarder page (without changing any settings), as that will cause Dnsmasq (the DNS forwarder program) to be restarted.

Thanks that did indeed work fine.
