This may be an obvious question but I will ask anyway.. :)

I want to change the name of the server
from
old.zone1.com
to
new.zone2.com

IP Address - no change

- change soa in master zone files
- work with slaves to make sure named.conf are correct

Other than that are there any gotchas.. ??

I am wondering if I will have to "unsign" my zones
and the upload new keysets to the registrar.
To do a graceful transition to a new nameserver you should.

* Commision the new nameserver.
* Add the new address records and wait for them to propogate to
   all authoritative servers and any cached negative responses for
   them to expire.
* Add the NS record for the new nameserver.
* Update the parent zone to ADD the new nameserver and glue.
* Wait for the old NS RRet and referrals to expire from caches.
* Remove the NS record for the old nameserver.
* Update the parent zone to REMOVE the old nameserver and glue.
* Wait for the intermediate NS RRet and referrals to expire from caches.
* Remove the old address records if they are no longer required.
* Decommision the old nameserver.

As the addresses of the new and old nameservers are the same you
can shorten this process a little.

* Add the new address records and wait for them to propogate to
   all authoritative servers and any cached negative responses for
   them to expire.
* Update the NS RRset
  + Add the NS record for the new nameserver.
  + Remove the NS record for the old nameserver.
* Update the parent zone
  + Update the parent zone to ADD the new nameserver and glue.
  + Update the parent zone to REMOVE the old nameserver and glue.
* Wait for the old NS RRet and referrals to expire from caches.
* Remove the old address records if they are no longer required.

In all cases you re-sign the zone whenever you make changes to it.

Thx
