Notify is for authoritative nameservers, which don't answer out of cache for
zones for which they are authoritative.  It doesn't do any good to notify 
a server of changes in a zone, when it's not authoritative for that zone.  
I may be misunderstanding your configuration, but you want internal client 
resolvers to use your master/slaves, and they in turn might forward to the 
caching-only nameserver/gateway.
