The LAN plugin uses various ways to look up a host name:
- DNS (the operating system's name server lookup)
- mDNS (broadcast a message to look for the right host)
- NetBIOS (original Windows lookup method)
- LLMNR
Android itself caches DNS responses, the DNS returns how long an address remains valid. The other responses are not cached, but the LAN plugin keeps connections cached.
According to a Google search, you can clear the DNS cache via Chrome browser via this URL:
chrome://net-internals/#dns
To clear the connections cache, open a different plugin in the same panel where you opened the LAN plugin.
