Yes, my test server is listed as a name server for these and other zones
with the relevant NS records in place so that would seem to explain the
behavior. I presume this is an added feature with 9.3 to notify admins of
this behavior since I hadn't seen this prior to now. I will request the
admin of this other server turn notifies off or at least limit them to what
is needed.
Thanks,
Bill

Is your test server listed as a nameserver for the zones _msdcs.jhuapl.edu
and 244.128.in-addr.arpa? Notifies go out to all the nameservers for the
zone, except the primary in the SOA, unless modified by named.conf settings.
