If you're running bind for your recursive boxes, `rndc -s <server> flushname <zone>' run against each recursive box should do the trick for bind 9.3.0 upwards. It will flush the cache for that zone only. There was a bug where it wouldn't flush negative caches, but that might be fixed. YMMV, etc.

Usual common sense warnings apply.
