the cache dump also has this entry (myname.mydomain.com is name I am interested 
in)

myname.mydomain.com  10324   \-ANY   ;-$NXDOMAIN

Which probably means if anyone requests for myname.mydomain.com, they will be 
handed NXDOMAIN for upto 10324 seconds from now..

Our current work around is to restart named (which cache) or we could do a 
'rndc flush'. 

Question: Is there a BIND option to say 'Don't cache myname.mydomain.com for 
NXDOMAIN error code?'

Alternatively, I can have a local query for this and flush cache if error code 
is NXDOMAIN, but is hacky.. I would like a config option
