If I ask my firewall's nameserver for the NS records
for cardbase.com, here's what I get:
[kenn at atlas kenn]$ dig cardbase.com ns @cerberus
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> cardbase.com ns @cerberus
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

If I ask, say ns.iol.ie, here's what I get:

What's the story here? Right now, mail to cardbase.com is
bouncing with a "host not found". Am I going to have to
restart all my name servers (given that the incorrect
answer has a TTL of 3 hours)?
Is there any way to force BIND to remove a single record
from it's cache?
BIND-8.2.2-P3, Red Hat's latest RPM for RH4.2.
