I am running 10.6.4 and 0.5b1. The DNS cache is definitely not being flushed automatically for Google Chrome (and based on a comment I read, most likely Safari as well). Are you issuing a 'dscacheutil -flushcache' command? Also, I think you need a large icon - when viewing the Applications folder from the Dock as a Grid, your icon is definitely not there - seems to be replaced with a generic icon of some sort. If you need a beta tester, please feel free to contact me. chris

It actually calls '/usr/bin/dscacheutil -flushcache' Could you verify that dscacheutil actually exists in that folder in your system?

Google Chrome does its own DNS caching: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=026b6a1d9151a6e3&hl=en

It's issue with Chrome itself. It caches DNS lookup results for 60 seconds. There is no good way to clear the cache externally. You can use app from the Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fegcjmebpcoihkfdjilmnemfkgjbneol
