Since my host file is very large I’ve had this service disabled for the last two years. However, twice in that time I’ve had to use the network Repair command. Repair will fail unless the service is running.
The solution is to manually start the service, do a repair, stop the service.

One thing is sure: the DNS Client service is often stated as indispensable, when in fact it is not at all, and is even advised to be off when using the HOSTS file. Moreover, no DNS Client service should means indeed no DNS cache issue.
Martin states, “I’m not sure if it makes that much sense to flush the cache if the DNS Client is disabled as it should mean that Windows is not resolving and storing DNS at all”. Indeed, that’s the way I figure the scenario as well, but if Martin puts this matter on the ground, I guess it means the scenario may not be obvious.
I’m interested as well in the issues regarding the DNS Client service
