If you restart it you will flush it.

    Normally if I am about to add a domain or change ip numbers I won't use
the address in a browser or mail program that would cause my isp to look up
the address.  As soon as my isp's server looks up the address it keeps it
around in case I ask again.  If you don't you have to wait a good long time
for your isp to forget the address.  it's a good thing.

So in the meantime you might try renaming the "hosts.sam" file "hosts" and
or you might be able to add the ip of your raq to your dns settings on the
linksys?  Locally make your raq ip your primary name server in "Your Isp
Settings" so your local network will ask your server first.
