flushing dns cache

[wayne at tiscali]

thanks, i was looking for a command line argument for deadwood's 
executeable if there was one, as i'm not programming/compiling myself...

am using windows (7 x86 at the moment) as my OS. i've tried the 
following batch file, seems to work:

@echo off
      net stop deadwood
      net stop deadwoodtcp
      sleep 5
      del "c:\program files\deadwood\dw_cache_bin"
      net start deadwood
      net start deadwoodtcp
      sleep 5
  exit

the sleep.exe  (from the server 2003 resource kit) command delays the 
batch file long enough for me to see what it is doing ;)

i've set up a similar start.bat and a stop.bat as well as a restart.bat 
to handle some of the functions...

i have of course turned off win's dns client service so the more 
standard "ipconfig /flushdns" does not work ;)
