+    Adds configuration to set `also_notifies` within the pools.yaml file
+    when using the Infoblox backend for Designate.

+    Pushing a DNS NOTIFY packet to the master does not cause the DNS update
+    to be propagated onto other nodes within the cluster. This means each node
+    needs a DNS NOTIFY packet otherwise users may be given a stale DNS record
+    if they query any worker node. For details please see
+    `bug 1855085 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+bug/1855085>`__
