sig_named restart is correct. It will reload the database and bounce the named daemon.

I think this is what you want .. ??
# /usr/sbin/sig_named restart
That should reload the the DB on the name server (as it says in the man page for "sig_named").

the restart option does not clean up the cache, been there, done that...it mainly kicks off the zone updater that looks to see if any zone updates are needed without waiting for the zone update time to happen

what is needed is to kill and restart named by using

sig_named kill
/usr/sbin/named
