hi
it's been discussed here several times and a bug-ticket is open here.

problem: the bugfix is not sooo easy to implement (as I understand it)

I guess you'll have to take the ugly way to reduce your serial to "0" (or
similar) and wait for the world's caching nameservers to timeout with your old
entries - just make sure your own slave-servers at least are forced to load the
new zone containing a minor-serial.

btw. by using the suggested YYYYMMDDnn format you'd never had this kind of
trouble.
