Just FYI: if you make the serial number of a zone '0', secondary servers
(bind at least) will *always* grab the zone from the master. It's intended
to fix just the situation you had; set the serial to 0, leave it that way
until all the slaves have picked up the new zone, then start using the
proper numbering scheme again. It wastes bandwidth for a while if you have
a large number of secondaries and/or a low refresh time, but it lets you fix
a type without human intervention.
