Cache and persistence should be long enough that IT does not have to
pay overtime but not so long that updates do not happen. 

It was Harder than I expected to find this.
The -i flag should have done the right thing
try it next time.  

  -i, --invalidate=TABLE     Invalidate the specified cache

$  nscd --help
Usage: nscd [OPTION...]
Name Service Cache Daemon.
 
  -d, --debug                Do not fork and display messages on the current
                             tty
  -f, --config-file=NAME     Read configuration data from NAME
  -g, --statistic            Print current configuration statistic
  -i, --invalidate=TABLE     Invalidate the specified cache
  -K, --shutdown             Shut the server down
  -S, --secure=TABLE,yes     Use separate cache for each user
  -t, --nthreads=NUMBER      Start NUMBER threads
  -?, --help                 Give this help list
      --usage                Give a short usage message
  -V, --version              Print program version
