Reading the manual reveals the surpricing fact :
3.4.2. Signals

Certain UNIX signals cause the name server to take specific actions, as described in the following table.
These signals can be sent using the kill command.

 SIGHUP
            Causes the server to read named.conf and reload
            the database. 
 SIGTERM
            Causes the server to clean up and exit.
 SIGINT
            Causes the server to clean up and exit.
