Increasing the SOA serial will be enough. PowerDNS will check the
serials every slave-cycle-interval[1] seconds and queue NOTIFY messages
to slaves when needed.

If that is not fast enough for you, you could have your provisioning
system send the NOTIFY by itself to the slaves.

Best regards,

Pieter
