Q.
I have made additions/deletions to the records in my DNS and DHCP setup, but they did not take effect. What do I need to do?

Dear Domaining: It is necessary to unload and then reload NAMED.NLM and DHCPSRVR.NLM in order for some changes to take effect. At the server console prompt, type:
UNLOAD NAMED (for DNS changes) UNLOAD DHCPSRVR (for DHCP changes)
then
LOAD NAMED LOAD DHCPSRVR <Enter>
It is mostly changes such as additions and deletions you make to a zone/address record that require this. Simple changes, such as changing an Address record, do not necessarily require a restart.
