If you're running bind for your recursive boxes, `rndc -s <server>  
flushname <zone>' run against each recursive box should do the trick  
for bind 9.3.0 upwards. It will flush the cache for that zone only.  
There was a bug where it wouldn't flush negative caches, but that  
might be fixed. YMMV, etc.

Usual common sense warnings apply.
