1) What if we purge 8.8.8.8 at 8.8.8.8 ?

2) What if we purge 1.1.1.1 at 1.1.1.1 ?

3) What if we purge both about the other at the same time?

4) What if we purge aaaaaaa!

So much time...so many ideas...are they sure they will end up well?

You purge domains, not IPs.

And it's not like they need to hold on to any state to work. If you had access you could purge everything and have them start fresh from the root servers, and it would work fine. (As long as the load spike doesn't make it decide to do something dumb, of course.)

8.8.8.8 isn't a DNS name, it's an IP address. There's nothing to purge.

I realize that. Sorry...I meant to say

dns.google from dns.google

one.one.one.one from one.one.one.one

I guess the downvotes are about 1 and 2 but ok, I meant

dns.google and one.one.one.one
