So you upgrade from a ancient version of BIND 8 to a ancient
version of BIND 9. BIND 9.2.1 is well past its "use by"
date.
BIND 9.2.6 / BIND 9.3.2 are the current versions.
Note: Support for BIND 9.2.x will cease 6 months after the
release of BIND 9.4.0. Similarly BIND 9.3.x support will
cease 6 months after the release of BIND 9.5.0. BIND 9.4.0
is currently with alpha testers.
Add/remove the definitions from named.conf then run 'rndc
reload' / 'rndc reconfig'. This really is no different to
BIND 8 and 'ndc reload' / 'ndc reconfig'. If you manage to
break rndc then 'kill -1' will reload named.
