Description Throstur Svanbergsson 2003-04-25 19:07:50 UTC

When running `/etc/init.d/named reload`, the command that is run is `rndc reconfig`. 
However, `rndc reconfig` rereads the named.conf file and reloads new zones *only*. If I make 
any changes to my existing zones I have to do a `/etc/init.d/named restart` which of course 
shuts down the server and re-starts it, or simply write `rndc reload` in a console. 
 
I suggest that the /etc/init.d/named file be changed so that reload really does what it should do 
IMO, reload the zone (rndc reload instead of rndc reconfig). (This is the default behaviour on 
Red Hat systems, f.ex.). 

Reproducible: Always

done and done, I also added "reconfig" to the init script so that you can do whichever suits you "reconfig" or "reload" through the /etc/init.d/named command (which is a bit smarter than doing it by console as it detects if rndc.key is set).

DOH, can't just add a command like I hoped, so it is just reload, no reconfig.
