This might not be what you want to do.  If you are building your own pri.
files you're going to find that this will overwrite any changes you have
made.  This script parses the /etc/records file and builds all the
neccessary records for Bind.  Then restarts named.

So if you want to continue to use the web interface, manually edit the
records file to look the way you want, THEN run that script.

If you are bailing on the web management interface for DNS, the command
would be the one that other people have posted:
/sbin/ndc reload
Just make sure that you don't ever go to the web interface and hit save, or
it will cause some major problems.
