Without putting too much thought into it seems you'd increase the serial
number on the primary zone to ensure that the secondary servers know they
have an update waiting. However I'm not sure there is enough information as
they never gave us a number in the question. If you change the TTL they
will update, but that will generate more traffic in the long run of the
network. I'm not sure what the retry interval is without goodling.

What did they say the anwer was?
