Chris this is not a dynamic zone, I do have NS RR. I had to completely restart bind for it to work. No matter what I did with the serial it wouldn't change. Never had to do this before so it's a bit odd.
Named-checkzone gave me no errors and rndc reload worked fine but the zone wouldn't update. paul From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Buxton Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 12:58 PM To: Paul A Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: SOA issue On Feb 13, 2013, at 9:22 AM, Paul A wrote: Can anyone tell help me figure out why this SOA is not changing no matter what I do. The zone was edited and has a new SOA but no matter what I do bind doesn't reload the zone with the new SOA. I tried rndc freeze/unfreeze and still nothing. Short of reloading bind what else can I do.

A zone without NS records will not load. If that's not really the issue, because you've edited the output above, a couple of hints: - rndc reload <zone> is unnecessary if rndc freeze <zone> executes correctly. A dynamic zone (one that you would freeze and thaw) cannot be reloaded. Thawing the zone effectively reloads it. - Do not edit a dynamic zone's zone file without first freezing it. Otherwise, when you freeze it, the data in memory will be written to disk, overwriting your changes. - Are you sure you're editing the right file?
