My bad. I <em>thought</em> I had used it on our servers but I hadn't and it's not on Linux (will update entry). It's a BSD sysutil (and thus on OS X). Michael, you’re right. My bad.

In any case, I still haven't even been able to FIND a lookupd on CentOS. What package is it in? It certainly sounds like you're doing absolutely nothing -- or something quite different from Windows. rndc flush deals with the nameserver itself, not the workstations which use the nameserver.

I've used it quite a bit recently. Generally the times I need it come when I start hardcoding /etc/hosts to migrate blogs, etc. Happens in Firefox and Safari, so... yeah. :) Yeah and actually it’s on CentOS as well as OS X.

I certainly don't have any "lookupd" on any of my Linux boxes. As far as I know, Linux (and most other Unix variants) doesn't cache DNS lookups <em>at all</em>; however, individual applications might do so. Firefox is notorious for this. It does?
