			      2002022401 ; serial
			      3H ; refresh
			      15 ; retry
			      1w ; expire
			      3h ; minimum
			     )
       IN  NS     ns1.example.com. ; in the domain
       IN  NS     ns2.smokeyjoe.com. ; external to domain
       IN MX  10 mail.another.com. ; external mail provider
; server host definitions

Not a networking question - Moved to Linux - Newbie.

You can't get help from the very limited amount of information you've given us, and a sample zone file really isn't any use to us.

If you want to update a DNS server, the actual software you've not defined - bind? maradns? powerdns? - you can usually just change the relevant A record and within 30 minutes all users will probably be hitting the new address. But from the extremely limited information you've given us, I'd be thinking there's really someone else better placed to deal with this at your end, or a different framework you should be using to change it. If this is some form of hosted service, maybe there's some web gui that will do this for you..??
