The trailing period on the domain name; i.e., ns.my.domain.com.

Most named processes leave a file called named.pid that has the process-id
of the currently running named.  Assumely this file is in /etc, you can key

kill -1 `cat /etc/named.pid`  to get it to re-read its configuration files.

to dump its memory you enter

kill -2 `cat /etc/named.pid`

It will dump its memory into /var/tmp.
