Hello David, monit doesn't cache the resolved names nor nameservers - it uses the (libc's) getaddrinfo() interface to resolve the hostnames when necessary. Please can you provide more informations about the system so we can try to replicate the problem? (platform, OS, version). Do you use nscd? (name service caching daemon)
