oh yes, it does. But it seems that after you flush the name and resolve
again, someone is providing you with further NXDOMAIN.
Flushname can not help you with broken server or broken delegation.

yes, more data would help - if someone was able to look at the real domain
you have problems with, they could find what the issue is.

If you ask us generic question, we can only give you generic response.

Flushname should be only needed if something breaks. It should not be needed
to run that automatically.  If you need flush more often than just
ocationally, there is apparently broken nameserver or too big TTL set and
fixing the server or lowering the TTL should fix the issue.
