You should *never* send signals to a name server to "manage" it. For
BIND8, you should use ndc. With BIND9 you must use rdnc. Sending
signals to a BIND9 server will kill the process. Unfortunately
there's no way yet for rndc to turn up the debugging on a running
name server. So if you want to run the name server in debug mode, you
need to specify it as a command line option when starting the name
server. ie "named -d 9".
