clear != clean. I'm talking about only deleting the expired entries. I 
know about cleaning-interval, and it's a handy tunable, but in 
high-performance environments sometimes one needs uneven intervals or to 
skip intervals sometimes (e.g. during month-end processing or whatever). 
An rndc command for "manual" cleaning would give more fine-grained control.
