I've been wondering the same thing for a long time now.  I think based
on my experience with one site where I've set up unbound using
forward-addr they are cached, which would-be/is (IMHO) wrong.

Ultimately though I like the NOTIFY solution best.

Sites converting from BIND will already be using NOTIFY.

The so-called "security" issue for NOTIFY is a bunch of FUD-mongering.
There are several ways to make sure unauthorised NOTIFY messages don't
cause any harm.
