Hi everyone.

I made a patch for nsd-notify.c to support a new option: "-a address".
This option allows to specify the source address of the notify message.
I've tested it against a BIND secondary server and it is working.
(Basically I checked nsd-xfer for the necessary code)

Probably a change in nsd.zones would be necessary, to include a  
"notify-source" directive.

What should I do to submit the patch?

Moreover, I made a small patch in server.c (part of nsd binary) to print  
the address when a "can't bind the socket" message is triggered.
