LKBEN10601: Howto flush the dns cache of a microsoft internet security and acceleration server

Symptom

A dns record has changed and is cached on the proxy server

Cause

This is by design

Solution

You can use the DNSTools.exe to do this. The DNSTools utility can be downloaded by Microsoft.

This displays the information about test.lubby.org

"C:\Programme\Microsoft ISA Server\DNSTools.exe" /D /SN test.lubby.org

and this one deletes the entry

"C:\Programme\Microsoft ISA Server\DNSTools.exe" /C /SN test.lubby.org

To fush the whole cache you use the /C parameter only.
