bind-9.4.2, notify, slave and views; supported?

A master won't send multiple NOTIFYs to the same slave IP address, and 
even if it did, there would need to be some way of differentiating those 
NOTIFYs, e.g. by source address, TSIG key or whatever, so that the 
slave, receiving the NOTIFYs, would know which view they belong to.

I think you're either going to have to implement a parallel set of views 
on your master, or maybe you can kludge things by having one slave 
NOTIFY another and spoof things so that the "far" slave accepts the 
"multi-hop" NOTIFY into a different view than the "single-hop" ones it 
receives directly from the master server. It might even be possible to 
contain this kludge within the config of the multi-view slave -- since 
each view is logically a different nameserver -- but I haven't 
completely thought that through...
