[Unbound-users] unbound-control flush*

Is it just me or is unbound actually not doing flush*
operations?

# unbound-control flush_zone tls.msk.ru
ok removed 50 rrsets, 83 messages and 0 key entries
# unbound-control flush_zone tls.msk.ru
ok removed 50 rrsets, 83 messages and 0 key entries
# unbound-control flush_zone tls.msk.ru
ok removed 50 rrsets, 83 messages and 0 key entries
# unbound-control flush_zone tls.msk.ru
ok removed 50 rrsets, 83 messages and 0 key entries

so on each invocation (i did that one right after
another), it reports that it removed the same amount
of records.  But actual reports are not being removed,
since querying it for an RR which changed on master
(it's a forward zone) returns the same, old data.

flush and flush_type does not appear to work the
same way as flush_zone above - both reports a name
were flushed but in reality it is not.

Also, unbound-control help says that argument for
'flush' is optional, but it returns syntax error if
no argument is given to it:

# unbound-control flush
error cannot parse name

Restarting the cache clears up the stale data and
it starts returning new data as it should.  But
no flush* magic appears to help.

This is unbound 1.3.4-1, a Debian package.

Thanks!
