BIND 8.1.1 and IP aliasing in Linux

[Richard L Shepherd <richards@waikato.ac.nz>]

I have several Linux DNS servers, two of which have IP aliases on one
interface.  Recently I upgraded from BIND 4.9.6 to BIND 8.1.1.  One of the
subtle problems I have noticed is now the machines that have IP aliases
don't automatically update a zone when sent a notify by the primary
server.  Under 4.9.6 they had no problems.

Points of interest:

1. One machine, which has always had aliases, stopped doing updates on
receiving notifies as soon as it was upgraded to 8.1.1.

2. Another machine was doing the notifies fine under 8.1.1 UNTIL we added
the IP alias, and now it too ignores them.

3. I haven't used any "listen-on" directives in /etc/named.conf, though
the default behaviour of using all available ones seems to be working (and
noted in the log file).

Is this a documented problem with either Linux IP aliases or BIND 8.1.1?
I'd be grateful to hear.....
