1. Delete the zone from named.conf on the slaves, delete the zone file on
the slaves, reload (or reconfig) the slaves.

2. Delete the zone from named.conf on the master, delete the zone file on
the master (if it's not shared by other zones).

3. Delete the delegation records in domain.com, and up the serial.

4. Reload the master.

Hope this helps,

Doug
