[dnsdist] dnsdist NOTIFY distribution

[Rasto Rickardt]

Martin,

for example, i am using dnsdist with hidden master scenario.

I have master for a zone that is not publicly acccessible and is
speaking directly to slaves, in your case for NOTIFY`s as well.

Slaves are used as pool for dnsdist frontend.
