forcing the clearance of the DNS cache?

Hello!

a thing that i searched in the FAQ and didn't find it... but that is
bothering me now for some time....

I am developing a website on my local machine, and thus use a local
webserver, this webserver needs to be accessible also from the outer
world, thus i set a danymic name on its dynamic ip on it...

and here's the problem:
as soon as the Ip of my machine changes i can't access the pages on my
local server anymore....

And as far as i can tell, the DNS-cache of galeon is never refreshed, i
have the browser now running for 29 days, and it still points on the
first address it saw... despite the fact that those addresses are marked
with a TTL of 1min....

Now besides the fact that this seems to be a bug i the name resolving
mechanism of galeon/mozilla is there a way to cleanse the DNS cache of a
running galeon process?

i have quite a number of pages open, so its very annoying to have to
shut down the client to get the name resolution right again, and this
several times per day...

BTW i am not on the list, so please include a CC on me if answering
please.
