    Which one? Debian 9 has ISC's BIND, unbound, Knot Resolver, and PowerDNS Recursor. And there are even more different softwares (dbndns, djbdns) in Debian "sid". All with caches. Commented Aug 20, 2017 at 17:02
  • All cached DNS entries which were fetched from the external DNS servers. I'd be interested in what each of these are about but after all I'm just looking for a simple way to delete all cached entries. Commented Aug 20, 2017 at 17:18

    I'd like to find out. I did not install anything in particular for DNS caching. Commented Aug 20, 2017 at 18:36

    Please show the contents of your /etc/host.conf and /etc/resolv.conf files. Are you sure you have a DNS cache? Commented Aug 22, 2017 at 8:34
