Unless the workstation is running a DNS server of its own, it probably
doesn't have its own cache. If it's running named, you flush the cache
with "ndc restart".
Solaris is an exception: it has a daemon called "nscd" that performs
generic name caching; you can flush its hostname cache with "nsdc -i hosts"
(see nscd(1M)).
