You shouldn't need to manually restart bind but you do have to send a SIGHUP
to bind to ensure it rereads the updated configuration files and load/delete
zone files which have been added/removed. Using a SIGHUP is much faster than
doing a restart but the nameserver will not answer queries while rereading
its configuration (and this could take a number of minutes).
You need to schedule passing a SIGHUP to your nameservers for them to pick
up changes that vs owners have made (once an hour perhaps? it is up to you)
and stagger passing the SIGHUP to your primary and secondary to ensure
service is maintained.
