It is a version 8ism of BIND, and happens automatically to other version 8
nameservers (at least in the ones I'm playing with[1] ;) ), or you can put
a notify yes in the zone definition.  Point of interest, no notify on
loopback is good ie: 

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" in {
        type master;
        file "master/db.127.0.0";
        notify no;
};

[1] They're only leetle. [2]
    : ndc trace ; sleep 60 ; ndc notrace ; ls -l named.run
    : 7280514 named.run [3]
[2] Yes, I do know what the physical hardware running it is, and a few
    other nameservers.  Scary stuff ;)
[3] Most of that is due to Indonesia having crap delegations :(  (RISK
    anyone?)
