You described how NOTIFy mechanism works. If bind is master (has a "master"
option inthe zone file", it doesn't do anything but logs a record.

Bind is the master when it has the "master" option in the config file.
If BIND's config tells that the domain is "slave", then it's slave and the
masters are servers configured in config file.

I have no informations about BIND using SOA to decide who is the master and
who is not. afaik, id only uses config file for that. Can you confirm BIND
does that?

No. I mean what I wrote already twice (and now for the third time, see
above). Do you tell me that I'm wrong and BIND ignores its config file when
the SOA tells something different?
