Hi Peter

This is normal behaviour for BIND. Once you start using dynamic DNS 
updates you should never edit your zone files by hand. Rather you should 
use nsupdate or other management tool to do dynamic updates only.

If it is necessary to manually fix something that can't be done by a 
dynamic tool, then you can use "rndc freeze" if you are running bind 9.
