An update to the serial number is the indicator to the master, and
then to the slaves, that some change has occurred and the zone should
be re-loaded or transferred.. but an actual change to the data isn't
required to make that happen. You can just update the serial number
on the master and tell it to reload without altering any other data...
the rest will take care of itself.
