bind 9 multiple masters setup

[Gordon A. Lang]

If a zone is not dynamic, then the MNAME does nothing except to possibly 
inhibit notifies to the declared master iff you specify the option "notify 
yes" or if you do not specify any notify option (as "notify yes" is the 
default).

If a zone is dynamic, then the MNAME plays a very critical role of telling 
all clients where to send dynamic DNS updates.

I hear that support for multi-master with dynamic zones is expected in 
version 10.  I have my own questions about how that will be done.
