Clear DNS cache on Mac OS X

Changing domains around on your web server can leave you with a local DNS cache that doesn’t match your domain’s new settings. Flush your DNS cache on Mac OS X 10.5 by issuing the following command:

dscacheutil -flushcache

Edit 5/19/2014: OS X Mavericks has a slightly different method for clearing the DNS cache.
