In regular intervals packets are sent in an existing connection to make sure the partner still is there. These packets are called "keepalive" packets. If these packets are not received the partner assumes that the other side went dead and closes the connection.
Think of a connection like a telephone call: when you talk to someone you expect some sort of acknowledgement that the other is still listening at times, be it "aha" or "hmm" or something such. If you don't get that you may ask "are you still there" - and if there is no answer you hang up. This is quite the same mechanism.
I hope that helps.

ldns-notify
ldns-notify(1) General Commands Manual ldns-notify(1)
NAME
ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available
SYNOPSIS
ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers
DESCRIPTION
ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform
TSIG signatures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone. If a server already has that serial number it will disregard the
message.
OPTIONS
-z zone
The zone that is updated.
-h Show usage and exit
-v Show the version and exit
-s serial
Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.
-p port
Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the UDP packets.
-y key:data
Use the given TSIG key and base64-data to sign the NOTIFY. Uses the hmac-md5 algorithm.
-d Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the query that is received.
-r num Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to send the UDP packet.
EXIT CODE
The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an acknowledgement to the notify message, and a failure exit code otherwise.
