To refresh a browser cache I put an argument on the URL that is different from the last request and the cache will be invalidated. In LC I put "&seconds=12345678" at the end of the URL arguments or if there are no arguments then I put "?seconds=12345678" where "12345678" is the LC "the seconds". This only helps if there is no more than 1 request per second. I there are more that "the milliseconds" would be more appropriate.
The local DNS cache can be refreshed on Windows by "ipconfig /flushdns". I'm sure that this is function is available on other platforms. Then you are getting the next level of DNS that you might/might not have access to. If the next level is your router you can reset that DNS cache, but after that you have to wait for it to propagate. The TTL of the DNS entry gives an maximum time this will take. I practice I have found that this happens much quicker. I use DynDns for IPs that change regularly and that seems to happen very quickly.

Right. But that is the browser cache. If you are talking about a url resolving to a different site, that is a function of DNS, which is totally separate from the browser cache the browser maintains. I do not think the browser is capable of bypassing DNS caching. But maybe I misunderstand the problem.

Like in chrome, ctrl-f5 bipasses cache and reloads.
