please include a function to do this. either a button, or automatically when hosts file is saved.

Please try version 0.5b1, it should fix your problem.

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.

It actually calls '/usr/bin/dscacheutil -flushcache' 

Could you verify that dscacheutil actually exists in that folder in your system?

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
