Hi Otto,

Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I'm aware that the source may change, but 
TTL exists for that. So I don't think this is a valid reason to not sync cache. 
As the current situation is worse:

Resolver A caches IP address 1.1.1.1 and resolver B caches IP address 2.2.2.2. 
Subsequently a user types to navigate to the site, but the firewall happened to 
resolve the domain via the other resolver. This ends up causing intermittent 
issues as it ends up being pot luck whether a user happens to use the same 
resolver that the firewall used.

A cache sync would at least cause the same behaviour for all users. And using a 
single resolver is too risky.
