Have some local process notice the addresses have changed
and reload or reconfig named via rndc over ::1. This will
cause the interfaces to be rescanned. You need to be running
as root on most OS for this to be successful as named uses
a reserved port.
Under Linux w/ capabilities we keep the ability to bind(2)
to reserved ports.
Some other OS's have the ability to specify a particular
user can bind to particular ports.
