"zone reload up-to-date" means that the modification time on the
zone has not changed.  Named records the time it starts loading the
zone and won't reload it unless the modification time is later than
that time.

Also turn off the "add a URL" option in your mail client.  All it
does is make it harder for people to read your email.
