Thanks, Ewan, for the two nuggets...
FWIW, I have yet to reboot my machine. I suppose it's fear: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;) uptime now 344 days since last (bitfolk-wide?) reboot.
Cheers!
Max

Hi Max,
I've updated the wiki now to mention the "rndc reload" command and updating your zone files if you use bind - the wiki login is just your usual bitfolk username.
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Renumbering_for_customers#Reconfiguring_services
I suspect most people will of just rebooted the box (or restarted all the bind services) if they were having issues with DNS, which would have forced a read of the updated zone file.

Andy,
your view of 'renumbering for clients' and mine differ. The way I look at it, any issues that force me to deal this change are directly relevant to 'renumbering for clients'.
