	For adding or deleting domains, there is no automatic solution -- 
NOTIFY will not do the trick.  For adding or deleting new records 
within a domain, so long as you update the serial number, everything 
else should just happen automatically (and NOTIFY will probably be 
used to help speed up that job).
