No, that's not what that does.

The notify mechanism is enabled by default, although it probably needs some 
tweaking using also-notify in an anycast scenario.

The notify mechanism allows the master server to notify slave servers (or other 
hosts) when a zone changes. This speeds up the synchronization process between 
master and slaves, but does not preclude the regular scheduled SOA queries.

If for some reason you were concerned about zone refresh traffic (typically 1 
query per zone every several hours), you can tune it in a few ways, including 
adjusting your refresh timer upward to, say, a day or even two. This is safer 
to do when you know that the notify mechanism is working properly. Is that 
perhaps what you meant?

Chris
