	Slaves periodically poll the master servers to see if the zone
	needs to be transfered.  When the master is reloaded it will
	send a NOTIFY message to the slave which triggers a early poll.
	By stopping and starting named you stopped the NOTIFY being
	sent (load vs reload).

	In normal operations you never need to touch the secondary other
	than to add / remove zones.
