Reading from the bind-9.2.2 manual :
notify

    If yes (the default), DNS NOTIFY messages are sent when a zone the se=
rver is authoritative for
    changes, see Section 3.3. The messages are sent to the servers listed=
 in the zone's NS records (except
    the master server identified in the SOA MNAME field), and to any serv=
ers listed in the also-notify
    option.=20

    If explicit, notifies are sent only to servers explicitly listed usin=
g also-notify. If no, no notifies
    are sent.=20

    The notify option may also be specified in the zone statement, in whi=
ch case it overrides the
    options notify statement. It would only be necessary to turn off this=
 option if it caused slaves to
    crash.


So a combination of :
	notify explicit;
	also-notify ip1;ip2;

would do the job for you.
