I can get all the different resource records from the rest interface like this:

/mgmt/tm/ltm/dns/cache/records/rrset?options=cache+/Common/mycache+type+aaaa

Except for "a" records, which errors out, so you might open a case on that. To remove them, you'll need the resource ID from that output, then you can just do a delete to here:

/mgmt/tm/ltm/dns/cache/records/rrset/~resource id
