Please provide more info, like setup of the master and the non-responsive
slave, Zonefiles, logs. Leave them unobscured and someone might help you
test your set-up.

You can specify globally or per zone if a notify should be send.

It works as follows

options {
           notify no; // no notifies are send
};

This can also be configured on a per-zone base:

zone "example.com" {
	type master;
        file ....
	notify no; // no notifies are send
}

Your slaves will still query the master for changes in the soa's serial
periodically (as specified in a zone's SOA).
