I can't get it to reproduce that behavior now!!! I have made the exact
change I was performing yesterday over 15x. Changes are immediately 
available via name resolution. Yesterday, when everything was newly 
installed (RHEL4 U2 & BIND 9.2.4), there was at least a 20 minute 
delay. Any idea what could have been going on?
