nsd users - Feb 2015 - nsd don't notice changes includes

Hello

I run a nameserver for one zone. Let'n name it example.org.

nsd.conf:
	zone:
	  name: "example.org."
	  zonefile: /path/to/zone_header

zone_header contain the SOA and NS records. The "real" data are
included.

zone_header:
	example.org.	SOA...
	example.org.	NS ...
	$INCLUDE /path/to/dynamic_data

if the file /path/to/dynamic_data is updated I run "nsd-control reload
example.org"
But nsd simply log something like "/path/to/zone_header is unchanged"
and do *not* reload new data from /path/to/dynamic_data.

Is that a bug or a `feature` ?
Any hints to workaround ?

Thanks
Andreas

Are you updating the serial in the header, if you don?t do that I believe NSD
would just assume the data is unchanged.
