This DNS server I was testing from was a replacement box, temporary install until the Bind servers were removed. Once I put the correct values in /etc/resolve.conf everything worked as expected. I was manually editing the zone on one machine but querying another. I figured it out when the serial number shown in the query response differed from the serial number the log file showed was being reloaded. I appreciate the help.
