Isn't that *exactly* what "sip prune realtime peer <x> does?

*CLI> sip prune realtime peer
Usage: sip prune realtime [peer|user] [<name>|all|like <pattern>]
       Prunes object(s) from the cache.
       Optional regular expression pattern is used to filter the objects.

It says it clears the cache entry, meaning that the next time it has to access 
that peer, it will go to the cache, see it's not there and pull the info from 
the DB (and cache it, since this particular person has the caching turned 
on).

Is this not *exactly* what you want?

Uh, that's not the point of the cache; the cache is there to keep the info 
from the DB in memory so it doesn't have to keep hitting the DB.

Agreed.
