Complicated DNS Question

I was considering upgrading/replacing our current primary server. This would be our main server with several slaves attached to it. I will be replacing this server so all IP's would change, etc.

Would this be a matter of moving everything in var/named/ and /etc/named.conf from the old server to the new server. Once moved, go through and replace any references to the old IP to the new one. Lastly, go to domain registrar and update the nameserver to the new IP address.

This is how it was explained to me, but seems like there are some steps missing. How would I move a primary server/nameserver to an entirely new box?
