I don't think that's a very good idea.

Instead, I think that if your application wants to clean up more entries, the
timeout value should be lowered using CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT and we should
internally clean up then.

We should be very restrictive with adding new functions. IMHO.

Of course, I might be wrong.
