Primary Name server

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.

To Mark's excellent response, I want to re-emphasize the importance of
making sure that your parent zone ends up with identical NS records (and
any A records needed as glue) to those in your zone whose NS records are
changing.  Remind them also to remove any old glue records no longer
needed, or update changed ones.  Failing to do all this is a common
cause of problems.

Also, I again point out that to the clients, there are generally no such
things as primary and secondary name servers - there are only peer name
servers.  One exception would seem to be the server in the MNAME field
of the SOA record - it is sent UPDATE records as the primary server
[the one with the master copy of the zone] - but this is frequently
filled in with a different name either for stealth server reasons or
just to avoid those UPDATE records.
