SYNOPSIS
ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers
DESCRIPTION
ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform TSIG signatures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone. If a server already has that serial number it will disregard the message.

Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.

Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the UDP packets.
- -y key:data
-
Use the given TSIG key and base64-data to sign the NOTIFY. Uses the
hmac-md5 algorithm.

- -r num
-
Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to
