I'm having trouble with Win 7 dns caching and have to frequently issue ipconfig /flushdns to resolve it.

This started after I installed RDi V9. I don't recall it happening before.

It occurs whenever if I forget to disconnect before the VPN shuts down. RDi will attempt to connect when I start using it again and on failing to connect (no VPN) seems to cause a cached status of "I don't know where that is" in the local DNS and subsequently won't even try to resolve.

This is really annoying so I'm hoping there is either a Windows or RDi setting that will help.
