I always update the serial, I know little but I know this ;)

This master server is its own server, so that's not the case...

After making changes to zone, updated serial, and rndc reload, I dig my
zone and get always the old serial. The serial and the changes only
appear when I '/etc/init.d/bind restart' it.

I use bind 9.5.1 on debian 5.0.3.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.
