Mac OS X: restart mDNSResponder

Load up Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app) and type the following.
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
To turn it back on, just do the opposite:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

This worked like a charm.

I've tried sudo killall -INFO mDNSResponder over and over to no avail.

Thanks for the code.

For me sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder works (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5343).
