For BIND 8, use the 'ndc' command. This will usually work:
Re: Maybe OT: OSX Terminal command to restart BIND?
From: Men & Mice Support
Date: Friday, February 15, 2002
Time: 10:43:40 am
ndc reload zone.name
This will cause the server to reload only that one zone, without
affecting the server's cache or any other zones.
For BIND 9, use the 'rndc' command. Last time I checked (BIND 9.1.3,
as I recall), the 'reload' option to rndc had not yet been
implemented. So you might have to use something like this:
rndc stop
rndc start
Does anybody know which version of BIND Apple includes? I don't have
a convenient way of checking, since all my Mac OS X machines have
QuickDNS Server installed.
