Yes, and in fact we already did that from the dhclient script.  I've now moved
the invalidation to a separate Upstart task triggered by ip-up (r31779):

  jobs.invalidate_nscd =
    { name = "invalidate-nscd";
      description = "Invalidate NSCD cache";
      startOn = "ip-up";
      task = true;
      exec = "${pkgs.glibc}/sbin/nscd --invalidate hosts";
    };

This way nscd can still be running all the time.  Rickard, does this solve the
problem for you?
