NS also in SOA doesn't get NOTIFY

[Jonathan Stewart]

You have a good point.  That SOA MNAME is used in a very limited way,
and is not involved in DNS resolution, which is what i'm concerned
about.  We are not using DDNS, so i could put any value in there.

However, i have some desire to make my SOA 'clean', meaning not
putting nonsense values in SOA records.

Thanks for the helpful tips!
