Well, I dumped it a few times (BIND 9.1.3 at the time), and it deleted
the records as well. At least, when I dumped it again (without
restarting named) it was practically empty.

I know that "dump" does not mean "delete" but rather "save a copy".

But perhaps a rndc command to delete the records relating to a certain
zone would be a good thing to add?
