Hmm, rndc is securable.  You don't have to open it to the Internet; typically you'd just bind it on 127.0.0.1.  Then your rndc key will further secure it against system users.  Your OS can probably give extra protective layers by firewalling it, such as this Linux
example:

iptables -vA OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 953 -m owner \
	\! --gid-owner wheel -j REJECT

(This forces root and other wheel members to "chgrp wheel" before they can use rndc, as an extra inconvenience.)

Another option is to use a UNIX domain socket, which, of course avoids the network altogether.[1]

You're losing a lot of new features without rndc.  This is a "throwing out the baby with the bathwater" sort of solution. Sure, this is what you are familiar with and what works for you, but to disable rndc isn't good advice for readers of this list.  ISC is moving on.

See Bv9ARM.ch06.html#controls_statement_definition_and_usage and rndc-confgen(8).


[1] Unfortunately it is not clear to me how to access the socket
    with rndc.  The one time I tried it, I gave up and stuck with
    that with which I am familiar.  ISC moved on, but if the
    documentation did, I don't see it. :)

don't get me wrong but if someone creates *any* bind configuration
and zone-files with self developed software there are no features
rndc could provide and so disable something you don't use is the
way to go instead make is secure with other switches

This thread started with "I need a way to force named to re-scan for 
interfaces". Since that *is* a "feature[] that rndc could provide" it 
seems like enabling rndc in a secure way is a good fit for the 
requirement that was raised.

kill -HUP is way more disruptive than necessary for a mere interface 
scan. It's overkill.

Furthermore, on a server with lots of zones, it could cause a DoS 
while zones are reloading, and named is unable to answer.

agreed - loading of our currently 522 zones takes 1 second
and the maintaining cronjobs have 5 minutes difference on
slave and master

i did not pretend it's a perfect solution in every environment
but it is suiteable for many and so a valid opportunity

... that someone is almost surely doing it wrong.  "Zone files"?

The proper tool to manage named configuration and operation, and 
which in the best Unix ethic is well suited for automation, is 
rndc(8).

The proper tool to manage zone data is nsupdate(8).  Likewise well 
suited for automation.

Unfortunately, it seems that no one with an adequate understanding of 
BIND has written and released a good management frontend.  Too many 
of them are still wallowing around in zone file editing rather than 
nsupdate and (as it seems from this thread) sending of signals rather 
than rndc.

zone file *editing*?

sorry, no, i developed 2008 a interface to create all zone files based
on database records, write the complete zone content in a main table
with a textfiled and a second textfiled where translation for NAT/WAN
zones happens and so there is and never was a reason to *edit* a
zone file

it is created from scratch when changes in a zone happen and cronjobs
only pull zones with the "updated-field" set to 1

that infrastructure provides a stable API for mailserver and other
backends and at the end the realted zone is created from scratch

only the fact having a 1:1 NAT and only edit records once to feed
internal and external nameservers with one action and the fact you
can change global properties like TTL if not overriden per domain
and change A-records in any zone base on our own domain working
like a CNAME but still be an A record justifies that

6 years for some hundret domains as auth nameserver proves me right

Written? Yes. Released? Unfortunately not. It's intellectual property of 
my employer.

Even with the nice GUI frontend of Infoblox, we still use our homegrown, 
crudely-formatted web frontend for the vast majority of changes 
(Infoblox being the backend of that frontend), since
a) our existing users are accustomed to it,
b) it's simple enough that even novices can get up to speed on it 
quickly, without the possibility of causing major disruption,
c) the lack of significant eye-candy means it still runs well even in 
slow and/or high-latency locations,
d) it has a more robust ACL system that I haven't seen rivaled in any 
commercial product, and
e) other stuff I've added over the years, like automatic 
external-to-internal sync'ing, and so forth
