You'll normally get a few update queries to the SOA MNAME if you leave the real master there.

This was going through my mind as I read the thread.

Aside: BIND secondaries can be configured to forward such updates to the hidden primary.

Whether you should change the MNAME or not is another question...

Is there a recommendation / best practice regarding what to set the MNAME to in a hidden primary configuration?

I believe that each server in an MS-DNS AD integrated configuration uses it's own name as the MNAME. I'm not aware of a way to do similar with BIND. The closest that I've come (in a thought experiment) is to use a place holder name that each BIND server resolves said name to itself. This can be done with a dedicated name it it's own independent zone that each server has different zone contents to refer to itself.

Are there any recommendations around MNAMEs in a hidden primary situation?
