Thanks again for your help, JP.
I describe in short some more things I tried (I still need your guidance):
Initially, I found out that the plugin was not being loaded in openldap
(as recorded in ldap.log):
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 182: keyword <plugin> ignored
And:
# slaptest -d 255 -f slapd.conf
...
line 186 (plugin postoperation /usr/local/lib/slapi-dnsnotify.so
plugin_init base-dn=ou=dns1,dc=example,dc=com
zone-attribute=associatedDomain notify-delay=10)
slapd.conf: line 186: keyword <plugin> ignored
...
config file testing succeeded
Trying to solve the problem (why the plugin is not loaded), I came to
the conclusion that I should probably add a "moduleload
slapi-dnsnotify.la" directive in slapd.conf. So I copied the files
"slapi-dnsnotify.*" to the directory where all openldap modules exist
(/usr/lib64/openldap/) and tried again. But now openldap doesn't start
at all:
# slaptest -d 255 -f slapd.conf
...
line 59 (moduleload slapi-dnsnotify.la)
loaded module slapi-dnsnotify.la
module slapi-dnsnotify.la: init_module() failed
slapd.conf: line 59: <moduleload> handler exited with 1!
slaptest: bad configuration file!
Why openldap refuses to load the plugin (one way or another)? Am I doing
something wrong?

Changing the SOA serial doesn't seem to trigger any NOTIFY to NS Servers

Also, I see no sign of logging anywhere...
It's as if the configuration statement included in slapd.conf is accepted,
but never doing something.
No hints really, as I haven't used that bit for some time. It worked for
me once without problems at all. I'd try the following:
1. Ensure the slapi plugin is indeed being loaded by your slapd. (Check
the slapd log.)
2. Ensure you've compiled slapi-plugin with WITH_SYSLOG defined, or it
won't log.
3. I assume you've started the notify-dns-slaves daemon? That is the one
which will send out the NOTIFY.
4. Once again, check the logs (var/log/messages); there must be
something there...
Good luck,
