That's a loaded question because there are so many "cache'ers" that 
come into play.  Are you using nscd?  (nscd -i hosts)  pdnsd?
bind9?  Is this a server? workstation? roadwarrior?  As Dave already 
pointed out, there are application-side cache'ers as well.

If you're actually using "resolver," then it has hooks into djbdns dnscache.
(check /etc/resolvconf/update.d)

Any idea on which aspect of your cache is holding out on an update?
