TTL not decreasing on slave servers

OK, my fault, slave TTLs should not decrease.

Still, the main problem is that if I change some values on the master's
zones (and increase the serial, so that SOA is different) zones are not
updated on the slaves until I issue a "rndc stop/start" on the slave. A
"rndc reload" won't do the job.
Why?

I paste my slave named.conf "options" settings:

// ACL to allow zone transfers from Enter DNS servers
acl "slave-enter" {
        212.29.130.48;
};

// ACL to allow zone transfers from non-Enter DNS servers
acl "slave-esterni" {
        193.205.245.8; 193.205.245.12; 212.177.124.32; 212.29.133.66;
};


options {
        directory "/var/named";
        dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";

        listen-on      { 212.29.129.3; 127.0.0.1; };
        query-source address * port 53;
        allow-transfer { "slave-enter"; "slave-esterni"; };
        allow-recursion { any; };
        version "Curiosity killed the cat";
};

Thanks


Mariano
