Sorry about that.

sudo rndc reconfig

Then have it reload or refresh all affected zones.

Not in the general case. AppleScript is available, of course.

command line interface. This allows you to type all parameters into a
command at a special command prompt, which can be faster than using
the mouse in QuickDNS Manager.
