I have tried to change the serial number to more appropriate ( like 
200012061 ) but it did not help. BTW my understanding is that it doesn't 
matter what number you use as serial. The most important that this number 
MUST be different from the previous one ( I just incremented it ). Am I 
right ?
Though 6 Dec 2000 looks more natural :).

On the master I ran nslookup and typed "ls -d inetcafe.ru". It returned 
exactly containment of my zone file including the serial of course. 
Unfortunately I have no access on slave servers ( I mean physical access, I 
can not start nslookup from there ).

Again I used "nslookup". Setup one of slave servers as default and asked 
about "www.jaba.inetcafe.ru". Reply was like this:
<ip address> can't resolve "www.jaba.inetcafe.ru": unspecified error
It is not much information, is it ?
I am sorry, could you advise me how to "resolve it from the slave using the 
master as your name server", please.

Here is another development of this issue. Yesterday I found that slave 
servers suddenly saw my subdomains. So probably they do update on a daily 
basis and have some restriction on update on NOTIFY message. Is it possible 
?
And the question is still alive:-
Is it possible to make slave servers see an updated zone immediately ???

Thank you.
