You do not say which bind, but typically cache is only maintained in RAM
because the info could be outdated if reloaded later. The cache is
flushed if you restart named.

You can use 'dig' to tell how long it will be until a particular name
expires from your cache (default units are seconds unless followed by m,
h, d, etc.)
