Thank you. It's a problem between DDNS and NOTIFY.

Fix?
If update is done 4 times a second, it is likely that reference to
the updated and unupdated data is referenced a lot more frequently.
Instead, we can simply conclude that we can increment serial number as
frequently as we want, for which purpose, UDP IXFR is specified.
