will named delete .jnl files ?

[Li Tongxi]

Seems NO. Also, in my test, when the updates come in, I can see a lot of tmp
file and one .jnl file. And I didn't see the changes preserved in my zone
file. But the DNS works fine and the resolved IP is the updated one not the
one in zone file. Do we need do some config to make the update preserved in
the zone file? I'm using BIND9.3.
