True and not true. The zone file is updated, yes. But the journal 
contains all changes made. If you present for IXFR with a zone serial 
number in the journal, named can tell you precisely which records are 
needed to bring the zone up-to-date. See arm/Bv9ARM.ch04.html#journal 
in your BIND documentation.
