Use of "notify" and "also-notify"

We are in the process of transitioning our master DNS servers to another 
hosting provider.

In preparation for that, I'm having them begin secondary transfers from 
our internal master server.

It  occurred to me that during this time, I do NOT want the server to 
send notifies to our current (soon to be old) DNS servers (at the other 
provider), but we DO want updates to go to the new array.

We are using views, BIND-9.

Can I do this:

        notify no;
        also-notify { dns-slaves; };

in the view.  Or is it more proper to place "notify no;" in the global 
options section.



Thanks.
