nsupdate question

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	The changes are written to stable storage prior to the answer
	to the update being returned to the client.  This is usually
	a log file that can be replayed if the server crashes.
	Periodically the zone is written to disk allowing multiple
	updates to be consolidated into on zone write.
