To answer the original poster's question.  Use TSIG as has already
been pointed out.  The following change makes doing this much easier
as it allows you to send to multiple views by having multiple
address/key pairs specified in also-notify.

3109.   [func]          The also-notify option now uses the same syntax
                        as a zone's masters clause.  This means it is
                        now possible to specify a TSIG key to use when
                        sending notifies to a given server, or to include
                        an explicit named masters list in an also-notfiy
                        statement.  [RT #23508]
