Reload the DNS Cache in Network Manager

You may be using NetworkManager with dnsmasq as the DNS plugin. If so, it's being used as a local caching nameserver.

When its data is outdated, you can force it to reload its DNS cache with:

Use:

nmcli general reload dns-full

You can also use:

nmcli general reload

Which will reload all network manager configuration.

On Ubuntu 22.04.1 the reload works but dns cache is not cleared.

For older Ubuntus sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches might work, on 22.04 one may use sudo resolvectl flush-caches
