using acls in also-notify doesn't work -- alternative?

[Drew Schatt]

	My suggestion is to create a file, named also_notifies.txt, containing 
the line "also-notify { ...; };" (basically, copy your current line to 
that file. Then, instead of each also-notify line, use "Include 
/etc/namedb/also_notify.txt;". That way, you'll only have to modify 
that one file and then issue a restart (possibly a reload, I'm not sure 
if included file's modifications are checked on that) to get the change 
to take effect in all the places it should.
	If you have more questions, let me know, and I'd be happy to work with 
you on it.
