Simply restarting the services does not clear the cache in my experience. The best way to clear the ISA cache is to stop the proxy service and delete the dir1.cdat file.

You can reset the ISA DNS Web Proxy and Firewall DNS cache by restarting the services. This article http://isaserver.org/tutorials/ISA_Clients__Part_1__General_ISA_Server_Configuration.html deals with how to minimize the ISA services DNS caches.

The workstations have the firewall client loaded. I did try adding the ip address to the hosts file on the isa server before coming to the list but it didn't appear to work. If I ping the domain name from the server I do get the address back that I want but when I try to view the site in the browser I get the other one. I cleared the cache from my browser, no help. Is there an easy way to clear cache from the ISA server?

Given that this test failure is a web site, I'm inclined to think that this is the case. Place the "fake" site IP in the hosts file on the ISA and restart the web proxy services.

If the workstation is not using the HOSTS file first, something is wrong. It must always use the HOSTS file first. Please check the configuration.

Here is the situation. The website is being updated. The old website is still online at www.ourcompany.com <http://www.ourcompany.com/> . The new website is under construction and being housed on another server. Users need to be able to type www.ourcompany.com <http://www.ourcompany.com/> and get to the under construction website not the old website being used by clients. Before ISA server I could simply add (newIP address) www.ourcompany.com <http://www.ourcompany.com/> to the host file of the workstation. But now the workstation doesn't go to its host file to resolve names it uses the DNS on our ISA server. Both website locations are off-site. How can I specify the IP address of my domain so that the workstations will look only at the under construction location and not the one in DNS?
