sooner or later, but filling up cache with garbage could result in other
non-garbage records being flushed out.
Are there any mechanisms that would wipe this garbage before other records,
used more often even if not very recently?
The only reason you get records in cache is because you requested them.
From my vantage most PTR records are demonstrably garbage.
Caching exists because if you requested it once you might request it
again. Who knows, maybe you didn't believe it the first time. In any case,
that's why the aphorism "garbage in garbage out" is a thing.
