[Pdns-users] can I control the time for a master check to be performed?

You've misunderstood my config. I'm using PDNS as a master and BIND as
a slave.

PDNS is using the pgsql backend. What's supposed to happen is that,
when the serial number on the domains table changes, PDNS detects it
and sends a notify to it the slaves of the domain. The way it works
out what the slaves are is not documented fully but I'd guess a good
start would be all the machines which are registered as NS in the
domain.

I've got PDNS to send a notify. But it takes about 3 minutes between
me changing the serial number on the record in the database and the
notify occuring.

In otherwords I want to speed up the time that pdns polls for serial
number changes.
