DNS problems

I have one account in my Entourage (2008) that doesn't work anymore. But
it's not really Entourage, it's the MAC. I recently moved one of my domains
and sub domains to a shared IP address. Now the MAC can't seem to resolve
them. They are resolved on Windows machines on the same network, so I know
the server is responding correctly.

I've looked around with google, and I found some stuff on cache flushing,
which I've done. Sometimes that will work for a minute, then it stops
resolving again. Any ideas on how to fix this? It appears to be MAC
specific.

I would suspect that you indeed need to properly flush the DNS cache.
In the Terminal, enter:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

You will be asked for your password and the problem should be solved.
If the problem comes back, make sure 1) that the Mac is perfectly up to
date 2) that Permissions are correct (Use Disk Utility to repair
permissions on the boot drive) and 3) that the DNS server you are using
is the same as on the PCs.
