Flushing the cache in Leopard

Prior to Leopard, you could flush the DNS cache of your Mac using the command: 

lookupd -flushcache

But with Leopard, the lookupd command is gone. If you do a manpage lookup on the lookupd' command, you'll see that it has been replaced by the dscacheutil'' command. So the new command to flush the DNS cache on your Leopard Mac is: 

dscacheutil -flushcache
