What is the disadvantage of having slaves using just > the vip and have all masters behind the vip? There's something else to keep in mind. Suppose you have 4 servers behind the VIP. One of them has an updated zone, and sends notify to a slave. If the slave now tries an XFR, its TCP connection may actually end up on another master in the group. If that master isn't yet updated with the latest copy of the zone, the client will not actually get an update. Of course, this all depends on how you're updating your masters, but since we don't know that, I can't comment further.
