Actually authoritative servers make queries to work out
where to send notify messages. While sending a notify to
the wrong place is not that bad. It is good practice to
see that authoritative servers are also fixed now rather
than later. Servers have a habit of changing roles and
when that happens not everyone will looks in options to see
if query source is correct.
Also at some point I'd like to be able to get rid of masters
clauses or at least go from IP addresses to hostnames. The
slave / stub zones would then have to go out and discover
the ip address on the fly.
