1) Make SURE you incremented the sequence number in the SOA record
(or Bind named will simply ignore your changes).
2) If you have only changed the zone files and not anything in the
/etc/named.boot file (Bind 4.9.x) or /etc/named.conf file (Bind 8.x) then
you can either send a SIGHUP to the named (kill -HUP {pid_of_named} or run
named.reload. If you did change something in the master configuration file
(whichever for whatever version) then kill and restart named or run
named.restart.
3) Wait for the "dust" to settle. What I mean by that is that other
systems will still have old information cached in their resolver libraries.
While your system will have the information up to date almost immediately,
it may take remote systems several hours if they had loaded old records
and had the cached. Not much you can do about that except wait.
