You normally have to put some effort into preventing named sending
notifications. Usually if you let named default (ie. don't use any
sort of 'notify' keywords in named.conf) then named will send
notifications of any zone update to all of the servers given in NS
records for the zone.

About the only minor nit I can see in that is a slight lack of quote
marks, compared to what the documentation says:
category lame-servers { "null"; };
but I wouldn't expect that to make a great difference.
You will still see the named startup messages logged to
/var/log/messages, as your customised logging only kicks in after the
whole configuration file has been parsed. See the documentation in,
for instance:
file:///usr/local/share/doc/bind9/arm/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#AEN1566

There's nothing much wrong in what you've posted, and named should be
working in the way you intend. What does named log on startup? Any
chance of posting the whole named.conf file?
Cheers,
Matthew
