True, but that should go away once the zone's refresh interval comes
around. [And if both servers are restarted - as the original poster
claimed - it shouldn't matter if the master server sends NOTIFYs to
the wrong address or doesn't send them at all.] As I'm sure you know
very well, name servers kept themselves in sync before NOTIFY was
deployed. It just took a little longer for the changes to
propagate....
