RFC 1996:

   3.4. The transport protocol used for a NOTIFY transaction will be UDP
   unless the master has reason to believe that TCP is necessary; for
   example, if a firewall has been installed between master and slave,
   and only TCP has been allowed; or, if the changed RR is too large to
   fit in a UDP/DNS datagram.


So, JUST AS WITH RESPONSES TO QUERIES, both UDP and TCP must be allowed
for reliable service.
