Agreed.

I think you're going to have to kill named. Theoretically everything
will keep on working if the slaves are working OK.

Just a guess at what is happening (too bad google doesn't know the
difference). When named starts it reads the rndc key, you need that key
to control named, to get it to reread its config, for example. If you
change the key on the disk, as you've said, it won't affect the running
named. It will stop you from being able to control named, though,
because the key named loaded at startup, and the key on the disk that
the rndc binary uses don't match any more.

If it still doesn't work after a kill and restart, I don't know.
