Scrubbing logic in a local coherency domain issues to at least one cache hierarchy in a remote coherency domain a domain reset request that forces invalidation of any cached copy of a target memory block then held in said remote coherency domain. A coherency response to said domain reset request is received. In response to said coherency response indicating that said target memory block is not cached in said remote coherency domain, a domain indication of said local coherency domain is updated to indicate that said target memory block is cached, if at all, only within said local coherency domain.
