You can do (as root):
arp -d <hostname>
to remove an entry from you're local cache (if, say, you've shuffled some
ethernet cards around). That's the limit of my knowledge.
Arp handles the MAC address to IP mapping. This is not the same as DNS.
DNS is the host name to IP mapping. For hosts not on the local network,
there will not be an arp entry.
Now, when it comes to flushing the DNS cache, it depends on what
software you are running. If you are running a local name server, such
as dnsmasq or tmdns, about the only way I know to flush the cache is to
restart it.
