No, $GENERATE literally generates the zone locally on the server
loading the zone, it isn't part of the DNS protocol, so the
directive itself isn't sent, just the generated data.

As regards the original problem I try not to do W2K, do you get
any messages on loading the zone? Are the usual tools happy
(named-checkzone)?
