Make sure the IP address the slave receives the NOTIFY message from
corresponds to the IP address it has configured as master in named.conf
This is not always the same on multi-homed servers, and bind will ignore
NOTIFYs from anything but the master.

Also check /var/log/messages (I think) which should say something like:
Oct  6 14:59:22 sid named[9996]: rcvd NOTIFY(linuxit.com.au, IN, SOA) from
                                 [202.72.177.50].3657

after upping the serial and reloading the master, which will be followed
by messages about loading the zone if it's all configured properly :)
