BUG: DNS not flushing properly. Can our developers do something before Google?

---

The problem on every Nexus One (or Android) build so far, is that everytime one switches between WiFi and 3g or vise versa, the DNS cache is not flushed. This could cause various problems. In my case, when I connect to our corporate WiFi, the exchange mail server resolves to a local ip address, eg 10.x.x.x. When I turn WiFi off and connect to 3g, the dns entry is not flushed, and therefore the mail client just times out trying to connect to the non reachable private ip.
There is already a bug report about this, but I was wondering if our gurus here could fix this anytime soon, since Google doesn't seem to care much (the report is over 2 months old).

There is an application in the market that flushes out the cache. It think its called "Cache Cleaner".

this is my solution

add this script to gscript lite

netprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
netprop net.dns2 8.8.4.4

netprop net.dns2 8.8.4.4

the app IP Manager could also be used

i have two IP profiles (home & office) and every time i leave either one of the two locations, i switch here (e.g. at home i need the private IP address, at office i need the assigned IP address, in both cases I want to have DNS1 8.8.8.8 and DNS2 8.8.4.4

more profiles can be set up, according to the requirement

What is netprop? Can't find it on CM5.0.4.1. Is it a command line tool?

Yeah, this has been bothering the tit out of me. When I used APNdroid, it was pretty terrible and I had to fiddle with wifi, plane mode, etc just to get EDGE back on.

I recall not having that problem when using Cyanogen's ROM, though. Maybe he's fixed it?
