What windows command will clear the client DNS buffer?

EXPLANATION


If this for a DNS server, use the command "dnscmd" with options.
eg: dnscmd dnssvr1.contoso.com /clearcache
To clear DNS Cache in client, do the following: 
1. Start
2. Run
3. Type "cmd" and press enter
4. In the command window type "ipconfige /flushdns"
5.a If done correctly it should say "Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache."
5.b If you receive an error "Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution.", follow the Microsoft KB Article 919746 to enable the cache. The cache will be empty; however, this will allow successful cache-flush in future.
