	There is already "rndc reconfig", which will cause BIND to 
re-read the configuration file it has confirmed is secure.  You're 
done.

	The real trick is getting changes made to that configuration 
file, without having to resort to tricks like rsync or ftp.  And no, 
specifying a path within the rndc command is not going to work. 
That's just not secure.
