Why bother to reduce the TTL of the old PTR record? It is not necessary to change the
old PTR record when moving a host. It is a good idea to clean up afterwards, but
there's no need to change the TTL really.

Bottom line |
According to the text in the book you can use "rndc exec" to restart the nameserver.
As far as I know, the "exec"-command is for BIND8 only, so it should probably be "ndc
exec" instead of using the BIND9-only "rndc" command.

Lower half, command-listing |
One of the commands to setup a chroot()-environment on FreeBSD is:
mkdir -p dev etc/namedb var/run etc/namedb is the working directory
I think that the last part ("etc/namedb is the working directory") should probably be
a comment and not part of the command itself?

the syntax for updates has changed. This code in the example:
$update->push("update", rr_add("$host. 86400 A $addr"));
should be replaced by this:
$update->push(update => rr_add("$host. 86400 A $addr"));
