Hi,

You can use a function from Microsoft's "dnsapi.dll". This will allow you to do this completely programmatically:

C#

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[DllImport("dnsapi.dll",EntryPoint="DnsFlushResolverCache")]
private static extern UInt32 DnsFlushResolverCache ();

public static void FlushMyCache()
{
    UInt32 result = DnsFlushResolverCache();
}

Good luck,
JAFC
