hi Barry,
yes I did check logs... I even turned on debug logging at level 50... no errors on startup... no errors at times when NOTIFYs were going out on the wrong IP address (in other words not the IP configured in notify-source). And yes, I am 100% sure I was editing the named.conf that named was using... I just checked now, and there is no other named.conf, no chroot directory, etc... 

Again, perhaps the issue with BIND and IP's assigned to ethernet alias. BIND kept going to eth1 first, then rotating around all my other IPs on the eth0:[0-3] .... totally ignoring my notify-source. I did post my named.conf... was how I used notify-source ok?

Are you absolutely sure that the config file you were editing is the one 
that named is using?  There have been many occasions when someone has 
edited /etc/named.conf, but their system was actually using 
/etc/named/named.conf, or something like that.

Have you checked your log to see if it's reporting any errors when it 
starts up?
