 it's unclear to me how to renumber a server that *only* has a record in
 LDAP (as opposed to something in `dns/domains.git` as well).

 in #33730, the DNS records were not picked up by nevii, the authoritative
 nameserver, even after running `ud-generate` on alberti and `ud-replicate`
 on nevii. and indeed, those commands only populate `/var/lib/misc/` on
 nevii, which doesn't touch the full zone loaded by bind.

 so this needs clarification and documentation and aaargh.
