How can I clear my DNS cache on my android phone? (Droid3, Gingerbread, rooted to be specific)
Ideally I'm looking for a command to run through a terminal emulator, something similar to
ipconfig /flushdns
On a windows machine.
What's the Linux version of this?
Answer
On a typical Linux system the cache is cleared by running /etc/init.d/nscd restart, but at least my ROM doesn't use nscd to cache DNS. You can check if yours does, but I doubt it. I've seen suggestions that clearing the brower cache would clear DNS cache too, but one sure way is to do a hard reboot (shutdown, remove battery for 30s, reattach battery and boot).
