pdns does not know anything about your MySQL replication, and it
does know next to nothing about the slaves you're using, except that
they are listed as NS records for your domain. It therefore must
send NOTIFYs to all nameservers. IIRC it even sends a NOTIFY to
itself, because it specifically does not know, which nameserver
instance "self" is.

So yes, this is normal, and cannot be avoided currently.
