If the DNS server that goes down is the primary, this is expected.
Seocondary server will use the refresh, retry and expire in the SOA to
cantact the primary. If the server is using notify the name servers on the
name server tab and there is an incremental zone transfer any DNS with this
option set will notify all DNS servers on the Name server tab.
You can increase the refresh and retry values to a higher number, but if
there is a change in the primary it takes longer for the data to be
propagated to the secondary servers. If you turn off notify the DNS servers
will use the refresh retry values. Of course this means your secondary
server may have bad data for a longer time after a change.
