	named loads the master file and the changes that have occured
	since then from a journal of changes.  The zone is marked
	as dirty when change is made and a timer is started to tell
	named to write out a new master file incorporating all the
	changes made when the timer goes off.  This is done to
	reduce the number of times the master file needs to be
	written when there are lots of changes to the zone.
