Bug Description

MAAS currently reloads the named configuration after every DNS change. When a large number of changes occur, this has negative side-effects for bind9. (For context, see bug #1710278.)

By checking the zone serial (per bug #1710308), MAAS now implicitly throttles reloads. But what it does NOT do is ensure that a DNS update is *necessary* (results in a change to the current DNS zone).

For example, MAAS may receive notification of an updated StaticIPAddress due to the DHCP server committing a new lease. Right now, this may trigger a DNS update, when nothing has actually changed.
