Depends on compile-time option. I only check serial numbers at
SOA intervals

>From named man page:

       SIGHUP Causes server to read  named.boot  and  reload  the
              database.    If   the  server  is  built  with  the
              FORCED_RELOAD compile-time option, then SIGHUP will
              also cause the server to check the serial number on
              all secondary zones.  Normally the  serial  numbers
              are only checked at the SOA-specified intervals.
