# - Fixing BIND's journal out of sync with zone error.
# -----

# - If a zone (or zones) in your BIND setup gets out of sync (almost undoubtedly caused 
# - by manual editing a zone):
# -
# -     zone utternerd.org/IN: journal rollforward failed: journal out of sync with zone
# -     zone utternerd.org/IN: not loaded due to errors.
# -
# -
# - Fixing it is rather simple, simply delete the offending zone journal which is easily 
# - identified by the "zonename.jnl":

    # rm /var/cache/bind/zones/utternerd.org.jnl


# - Now simply restart BIND as you usually would (YMMV):

    # service bind9 restart


# - In the future if you need to update a dynamic zone, freeze, modify, 
# - and thaw them manually:
# -
# - Notice: Thawing the zone will force BIND to reload it.

    # rndc freeze utternerd.org

    # vi /var/cache/bind/zones/utternerd.org (make manual changes needed)
    # rndc thaw utternerd.org
