clear DNS cache

[Pal, Laszlo (private)]

After a quick google it seems there is no "central" cache used anymore 
(previously nscd service maintained a central cache, but it is not 
installed by default). If this is installed at you, you may want to 
restart the relevant service

nscd.x86_64 : A Name Service Caching Daemon (nscd).

also if-down/if-up may clear the app specific caches
