Thanks for your quick response.  I've recently switched from BIND 8  
running on a BSD/OS system to to BIND 9 running on a SuSE Linux  
system.   The "sent NOTIFY" message generated by BIND 8 doesn't  
appear to be generated in BIND 9.  I ran across the "refused notify"  
message while looking for "sent NOTIFY" to verify that the primary  
master name server was sending out the notification when a zone was  
reloaded.  Apparently, BIND 9 does send the "notify" but does not  
record the event or I need to make changes to the logging statements. :(
