The first one should have worked.  I think I've seen cases where
'killall' didn't work as advertised.

The second one should be 'ndc restart'.  Or you may have menat that you
did /erc/rc.d/init.d/named restart, which should have also worked.

If you have killed and re-started the server, and it is STILL serving
the domain ... then you have not removed the domain.

If you are actually resolving from a peer name server that happens to
slave itself to the original name server, then you will have to go to
all of the name servers and remove the zone from their named.conf
files.
