DNS changes not propagating
I recently made a change to the DNS record for a customer - I updated the serial number (I use the yyyymmddnn format) to 2008100101. I HUPed named and checked to make sure it is running again. I dug at the primary nameserver and noticed that the change did not propagate - I ran nslookup with a "set type=soa" and noticed that the serial number is still the old serial number - 2006053001.
I have no idea what is happening. Does anyone have an idea where to look? It all works fine for other domains I handle.

ldns-notify
ldns-notify(1) General Commands Manual ldns-notify(1)
NAME
ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available
SYNOPSIS
ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers
DESCRIPTION
ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform
TSIG signatures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone. If a server already has that serial number it will disregard the
message.
OPTIONS
-z zone
The zone that is updated.
-h Show usage and exit
-v Show the version and exit
-s serial
Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.
-p port
Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the UDP packets.
-y key:data
Use the given TSIG key and base64-data to sign the NOTIFY. Uses the hmac-md5 algorithm.
-d Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the query that is received.
-r num Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to send the UDP packet.
EXIT CODE
The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an acknowledgement to the notify message, and a failure exit code otherwise.
