Has the serial number of the domain changed? If not, there's no reason to
run named-xfer, since the zone hasn't changed. The timestamp of the file
is updated to indicate that it has been refreshed successfully.
Named normally sends a NOTIFY message for every domain when it starts up,
since it doesn't know whether you've edited the zone files while it was
down. There's a named.conf option that stops this, but I don't recall what
it is offhand.
