It's been quite a while since I read/posted stuff from debian-user due
to too much work at the office, so my apologies if you've already
received this info.
I run a number of servers in the configuration you detailed below, and
they work fine.
You may want to add an "also-notify" statement to the top-level server
if you want changes to propagate as quickly as possible. Otherwise you
can lower your TTL times, but there are a couple of RFC's that suggest
higher TTL times these days, since the Notify feature is available and
works well in BIND 8.
(By the way, has anyone else noticed really bad behaviour of WinNT's
DNS server when receiving Notifies? One machine I have to deal with
almost always ignores them completely, and I've sniffed the network
to make sure they're being received.)
