	No.

	Errr... if it's a secondary, why would you want to reload it manually.
Why not just let it update, or better yet use BIND 8.1.1 on both servers
and activate the notify option?

	Well, it depends on your perspective. If there is a problem with the
load on the primary when it's being reloaded, there are ways around that
but it involves setting up a seperate server to act as the primary and
feeding the updates downstream with BIND 8.1.1's notify. Otherwise, if
it's not a strain on the primary don't worry about it.
