What kind of error?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking whether the nameserver
can be just reloaded once per night? Sure. But there is no option within the
nameserver for it to only accept "reload" commands at certain times of the
day. You can't limit reloads on the *receiving* side of the
"reload" commands, i.e. the nameserver. You have to find out what is
*sending* the "reload" commands and prevent it from doing that except once a
night, or stop it completely from sending "reload" commands and have some
other mechanism do the nightly reload.
