Use PowerDNS as a ***** server
Nameservers are running PowerDNS and they automatically create new DNS ***** zones if they receive a NOTIFY from preconfigured IP's.
Plesk server were added to the list of IP addresses on the ***** DNS.
Now, it is required to modufy configuration in named.conf as follows:
options {
allow-transfer { x.x.x.x; };
notify yes;
also-notify { x.x.x.x; };
};
But /etc/named.conf file does allow custom configurations only if it is between these lines, which is outside of required section:
// -- PLEASE ADD YOUR CUSTOM DIRECTIVES BELOW THIS LINE. --
// ...
// -- END OF YOUR CUSTOM DIRECTIVES. --
Sorry, but PowerDNS is not supported DNS server for Plesk. We can’t consider problems with your customization as feature request.

Dear Plesk. This isn't a "I want to run PowerDNS on Plesk" question, and should be re-opened.
It is a totally viable question when you want to transfer zones and do notifies to a a nameserver cluster that will pull the zone and serve it to the world.
You should either allow for custom notifies to an IP/IP:port (using the declaration above) to be set in the DNS Settings GUI or just have an include inside options when chrooted, to allow for custom options to be set which are not "supported".
This comes into play if your Plesk server has nameservers in the zones, which is not itself and the local BIND instance acts as a (hidden) supermaster for the cluster of other nameservers.
