I've experimenting with configuring dnsmasq
on macOS for Apache vhosts instead of creating entries in /etc/resolver/<domain>
for each domain. In my case, I configured dnsmasq
to resolve .dev
to localhost
.
Since Safari had previously visited foo.dev
, it kept requesting that page, although dig
resolved foo.dev
to localhost
.
It didn't help to clear Safari's web cache and flush the system's DNS cache:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
It was first after a reboot that Safari properly visited the localhost
instance of foo.dev
(vhost).
So, is Safari mantaining its own DNS cache - and if so, how can it be flushed without restarting the system?
