zone files updates

[David Forrest]

1. If I have to make changes to a zone file ($ZONE) dynamically updated by 
dhcpd, is there a procedure to insure no corruption?

2. I note that the $ZONE.jnl seems to grow continuously even if I stop bind 
and dhcpd. Does that mean that my original zone file is never changed and 
dhcpd just inserts the changed records on a temporary copy?  If I look at 
the $ZONE it has the $TTL starts and ends in it but the serial number does 
not change (the file's modification time stamp does though).

3.  I'm on BIND 9.5.0-P2 chrooted as user named on a Fedora 9 system and 
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server 4.0.0.
