help with notify-source

[tony z]

Hopefully my other post will get approved .. it shows my named version, and the named.conf... 
I have logs from my backup DNS which shows the slave DNS refusing notify's from my other IPs on the master DNS server... then eventually the right master IP sends the notify, and the AXFR proceeds and completes normally. Do you expect BIND to rotate it's NOTIFYs through various IPs on the multihomed server like this?

What's the value of x?

Post your named.conf.
