We are running Solaris 7 and we use dnssig.  It basically does a kill -HUP
on all the nameservers.

read the man pages on dnssig and dnsload

you will need /etc/dnsservers file this contains the IPs of the dnsservers
you want to reload the zone files on.

192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2

also add the following entry to /etc/services

dnsload	987/tcp	# DNS Reload Signaller

also add the following entry to /etc/inetd.conf

dnsload	stream	tcp 	nowait	root	/usr/bin/dnsload	/usr/bin/dnsload
