Does SeaMonkey cache the translation from a domain name to an IP
address? If so, how can I clear that cache?
That's done by Domain Name Service (DNS), and the length of time the
record remains cached on your PC is called the Time-to-Live (TTL).
That's part of the data passed to your cache from the DNS server that
resolves the name-vs-IP request.
There are 3 ways to clear it:
*-at a command prompt, type 'ipconfig /flushdns', then Enter
*-reboot your PC
*-wait for the TTL value to render the cache contents invalid (default
is normally 1 hour)
After any of those events, the next time you want to navigate to a page,
that page's IP address must be resolved through DNS again. This gives
you a fresh entry in your cache, and the whole cycle starts over.
