Dumpdb doesn't delete the cache, it puts a human-readable version of the
cache in a file.  In computer jargon, "dump" doesn't mean delete, it means
"save a copy" (as in a backup dump or a crash dump).

Unless BIND 9 has added new features to clear things from the cache, the
only way to do it is to restart named.
