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_serv…
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'. I am surprised you appear to disagree.
Am I a client or not? This is a serious question, although it may appear
to be flippant.
If Michael's discovery of a 'rndc reload' command does not fall under '6
Reconfiguring services', I don't know what does. Apparently, neither does
anyone else, given the lack of contributions to this section.
'rndc reload' is a misnomer; traditionally, under system V unix naming
conventions, 'bind' would restarted by an /etc/init.d script, either
'bind'
or a catchall like 'networking'. 'rndc reload' is odd enough to deserve
a
comment on 'renumbering for clients'.
Cheers,
Max

Hi Max,
I'm afraid I don't really know what you mean about Michael's bind
discoveries. All I can recall from that thread is that he found that
he had forgotten to reload his nameserver after making changes to a
zone file. That isn't really related to renumbering a VPS so I don't
think it belongs on the renumbering article.
Cheers,
Andy

Yes, Andy, thanks for the pointer.
I would have liked to update '6 Reconfiguring services' to point to a
new
page in order to summarise the 'bind' discoveries of Michael Corliss*.
Unfortunately I am unable because I lack information about my 'login name'
and 'password', if ever I had one.
*I am surprised his discoveries hadn't been included already. Does
nobody
besides us use bind??
